CHAPTER 2
The Alpha King stormed his way to his chambers, his eyes darkened with rage. He thought back to nine months ago, when he had agreed to the idea his brother had implanted into his head."So stupid of me," he thought. He took a pause as he noticed a guard who was standing just outside his chambers."Don't you know how to greet your Alpha?" He growled, and the guard was down to his knees. "Did you not see the others? Or should I show you?" His voice was lower this time, and the guard was already peeing in his pants.The Alpha King noticed that too, and he motions for the guard to get up. Heaving a sigh of relief and exhaling what seemed to be muffled sobs, the guard rushed to open the door to the King's chambers. The guard turns back to thank his stars, but the sound of crunching flesh would end it all; the King smashes the guard's head into the wall."Learn to greet the goddess in the afterlife." He purred and walked further into his chamber, not minding the bloodstain on his royal regal.Just before he turned for his closet, a voice stopped him in his tracks."I heard what you did to that maiden," a voice just as cold as the Alpha King's roared from behind him.It was his brother, Oswald."Get out of here now if you don't want me taking your head off your neck. You caused all this mess. You brought her to me. You told me having a son would make me appear to be a greater leader to my people and to the Packs beyond! What did she give me? I'm sure the child isn't mine."Oswald stepped back like he wanted to take a wider view of his brother's body, disbelief clouding his eyes. He stared at the cold, marble floor, and the surge of anger that washed over him made him do the unthinkable.The Alpha King stared at his brother, unfazed, even when Oswald had just punched him. "That's it?" He asked mockingly, heading for the closet, "Last warning. Get out of my chambers. Take that bastard with you. I know you like her for yourself anyway —""How can you even say that?!" Oswald asked angrily."Keep quiet!" The Alpha King thundered back. "Don't think my spies don't report back to me out of fear. I know everything. What you two do together …"Oswald's reaction seems to have given him away. He could tell there was no use hiding it anymore. His brother, the Alpha, was aware, and though this was punishable to the extent of getting murdered, he knew to keep quiet and accept whatever came his way.He couldn't get that day off his mind. How he had been shattered. He had approached Luna's chambers and barged in, uninvited. She was half-clad, but if at that moment she was mad at Oswald for stepping in the way he did, she didn't show it. She was six months gone, her protruding belly looking more alive than the last time he had taken time to notice.He had remembered sitting her down and initiating a conversation with her, asking her how she was doing with the baby. How he had proceeded to comfort her by hugging her and caressing her lips. He believed her silence confirmed his thoughts. He believed she liked him too; not until she had jolted and smacked him hard across the cheek."Leave my room", he remembered her yelling with glistening eyes filled with tears. It was the last word she had said to him ever since, and only he had to relive that painful moment everyday.Oswald snapped himself out of his thoughts. The Alpha King wasn't in the room anymore. Oswald gathered what was left of his anger and marched down to the room where Myra was taken to by the midwives. The path to the room was quiet. Chilly."Haven't the midwives returned to help Myra? Why would they leave her there all alone?" These questions flooded Oswald's mind as he increased his pace. He was surprised by the huge hole in the stone wall which gave room for more chilly air to be let in.It explained the cold."Myra?"He barged in, scanning the room for Myra. The trails of blood smelt fresh still, and he could tell it wasn't too long she had put to bed. He recognised the scent of the newborn too, and he smiled weakly."Myra?!"His roar was met with the whistling of the morning wind. There was no sign of Myra. Nor the cries of the baby.Myra had absconded.* * *Myra clenched her baby tighter. She seemed quieter, her large, dark eyes staring back at Myra with curiosity. The Alpha King's eyes. She felt her heart sink for a millionth time. She had been so stupid to believe the Alpha King would change for her. She had been so delusional to think he would come to love her. Even if it was in the slightest, she would show him how much she would appreciate it. Her sobriety slowly morphed into anger, and she begged her wobbly legs to carry her further from the harsh ice-cursed universe.She had heard there was a world beyond hers. Beyond the other wolf Packs. A world filled with humans. She knew the Alpha King had met with some in the past. So that meant they were real.As she approached the border that lined the walls of her Pack territory, she muttered prayers as quickly as she could, begging the Moon Goddess to spare her child's life."What business do you have at the borders, young woman?" A guard had begun marching towards her already. She scanned the gates. He seemed to be the only one in sight. She prepared herself, willing her body to muster every bit of strength left in her.Just a little closer."Answer me, maiden!"A little closer.In an instant, Myra drops her baby gingerly on the ice floor and morphs into her wolf form, taking a quick advantage of time. She skillfully and stealthily sunk her canines into the guard's neck,snapping his bones almost instantly. She ran back just as quickly to retrieve her child and broke through the gates, running out into the wilderness.She muttered silent prayers as she ran faster into nothingness, praying she found land inhabited by humans.CHAPTER 313 months agoOswald scanned the narrow street carefully, making sure to see no one had been on his tail. He pulled the cloak closer to himself as he trotted down an alleyway lined with algae. He watched children play with 'snowballs' and wrestle themselves in their wolf form. He watched a woman tendering to the apple tree just outside her house. He was yanked off the alleyway almost immediately, and he found himself inside a dark room, and his supposed captor closing the door quickly."Baron?" Oswald called out, unsure. Two claps later, and the room was devoid of darkness. Glowing yellow lights illuminated the room, and a man, about Oswald's age, wandered further into the room.Oswald chuckled, "It still reeks of bougainvillea, you see," he gestures at the room. Baron was the seer of the clan and also a wizard. And behind the seeing eyes of the clan, he was Oswald's childhood friend."I threw them away. Like you had suggested," Baron rolled his eyes dramatically, gesturing
CHAPTER 4Myra awakens, on to find herself immersed in blood. Her bed was completely soaked, and her child was nowhere to be found. She was back in the delivery room, and she could smell the presence of the Alpha King. There was a huge hold on the stone wall, and the wind was pouring in ice flakes vigorously. Her mind began to race as she yelled for her daughter."Alistair!" She cried, leaping for the door and banging on it with all her strength. She kept banging till her hands reddened, her skin battered and ready to bleed. Just then, she heard a loud cackle, and the scent of a different blood wafted past her nose. The Alpha King slowly emerges from a dark corner of the room, his mouth obviously moving like he was chewing down on something. His jaws were blood-stained, and his hands held what seemed to be like the remnants of a baby.Her baby."I asked for a son," was all he could day as he turned around and bit on what was left of the child. Myra morphs into her wolf form, anger bo
•CHAPTER 5Aeron and Oswald stared at each for what felt like eternity, one trying to read the other's next move. Disbelief was a new emotion the Alpha King processed; one which he couldn't remember when he had felt something similar."Who told you this?" Aeron asks."The Pack’s wizard." Oswald blurted.Aeron almost burst into laughter. "That imbecile?! How many times have I told you not to trust his —""Many years ago, our father had affiliations with a widow," Oswald interjected, "and he banished her to keep his secret safe with him. She has placed a curse on our father." He turned to Aeron. "She placed a curse on you too.""What was her curse?""She cursed you to know and decide nothing other than evil. I guess that explains your … powers." Oswald said, unsure of how to proceed.Aeron could tell he was holding back. "Go on," he purred, surprised by his impatience."She … cursed you to be evil and to be known for nothing other than evil. She had mentioned that if you don't sacrifice
Chapter 6– Outside Of The PackThe rogues smiled as they noticed the man behind their miseries was alone. Aeron had left the pack with no guards. He wanted to approach Myra by himself, if really what Oswald had revealed to him then he needed to placid Myra in order to get the daughter he rejected.Aeron’s ears perked and his feet tapped the floor impatiently as he waited for the rogues to attack. “Not so mighty now, are you?” The rogue teased, his canines barred in an attempt to scare the Alpha King.Aeron turned to him, a mischievous smile on his face as he strolled lazily away from the rogues. He didn’t get to ten steps before one of the rogues jumped at him, almost catching him off guard but Aeron was prepared for it. His claws dashed out in attack, clawing the chest of the rogue that had attacked while he jumped out of the way evading the rogue's touch. When other rogues saw what had happened, they all jumped towards him at once.With fury and determination in his eyes, Aeron beg
Chapter 7The King EnterpriseWith a deep breath Myra sighed as she took her steps into the gigantic building which still somehow didn’t cease to amaze her. Her senses was alight, all thanks to her being a werewolf. “Hi, I have an…”“Room 56, the office by the left,” the receptionist cut her shot as she chew her gum.Myra smiled gratefully at the receptionist and made her way towards Room 56. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, a mix of nervousness and excitement. This job meant everything to her. It was her chance to prove herself capable of taking care of not just herself, but also her baby.Pushing open the door, she found herself face-to-face with a middle-aged man, his eyes glued to his laptop screen. His disheveled hair and worn-out suit hinted at the long hours he must have put into his work. Myra cleared her throat to get his attention, not wishing to interrupt, but unable to suppress her nerves any longer.Startled, the manager looked up, and the moment their eye
Chapter 8Myra stood in front of her closet, carefully selecting her outfit for her first day as a secretary. She wanted to look professional yet stylish, confident yet approachable. After much consideration, she decided on a chic black pencil skirt that hugged her curves and a vibrant coral-colored blouse that highlighted her warm complexion. Completing the ensemble were her favorite nude heels, a silver bracelet, and delicate pearl earrings.As she stepped into the living room, ready for her big day, Augustine's eyes widened in appreciation. His gaze lingered on her, taking in her beautiful appearance. In that moment, he couldn't help but admire her grace and attractiveness."Myra, you look absolutely stunning," Augustine said, breaking his silence. His voice was filled with admiration and warmth.A blush colored Myra's cheeks as she smiled and replied, "Thank you, Augustine. Your kind words mean a lot to me."Noticing the hint of nervousness in her eyes, Augustine walked over and g
Chapter 9Alpha Aeron stepped into the human world for the first time, his eyes wide with astonishment. Unlike the ice and snow of his Arctic kingdom, he found himself surrounded by towering buildings, bustling streets, and a cacophony of unfamiliar sounds. It was a stark contrast to everything he had known.His gaze shifted to the humans around him, their clothing and hairstyles strikingly different from his own. Aeron's long dreadlocks, which had been a symbol of power and majesty in his kingdom, seemed out of place amidst their neatly styled hair. But what surprised him the most was their reaction to his presence.As he walked through the crowd, he noticed that instead of showing fear or reverence, they looked at him with mockery, disgust, or amusement. Their laughter echoed in his ears, piercing his pride and igniting a fire within him.Just then, a man approached him, the smirk on his face evident. "Lost your way from the studio, buddy?" he jeered, his tone dripping with condesce
Chapter 10Myra stepped out of her sleek, black sedan, a reflection of her hard-earned success - a shiny Mercedes-Benz E-Class. She had worked tirelessly alongside Augustine for nearly four months, and her dedication had paid off. The hefty paycheck she received allowed her to indulge in luxuries she had once only dreamt of, including this impressive car.As she entered the daycare, the sound of children's laughter filled her ears, bringing a smile to her face. Allistar, her adorable five-month-old daughter, was surely among them. Myra's heart fluttered with anticipation as she made her way towards the room where Allistar spent her day.Opening the door, Myra was greeted by a chorus of joyful giggles. Her eyes quickly found her little bundle of joy, her daughter Allistar, sitting in a circle with the other children. Their eyes met, and Allistar's face lit up with delight. She stretched her tiny arms towards her mother, her laughter contagious."Hey, my sweet angel!" Myra cooed, swoopi
