The archon alpha stumbled a little as white flashed before her eyes, making her momentarily blind. She didn't know what was happening to her all of a sudden, the wound was still there on her leg but it had stopped hurting since the last few days.
While she was still reeling, she felt the slightest prick of a needle on her arm.
Through blurry eyes, she saw Caleb wave a syringe at her. He was grinning at her wickedly and spoke in what he felt was a seductive voice, “You are going to have fun today, honey.”
At that moment something clicked inside Valencia. She had been leaning on the tabletop, clutching to it for support but she whipped her hand and it connected with Caleb’s jaw. Unknowingly, she had released her archon alpha status that she had kept concealed all this time.
Valencia swayed a little and Dominic instinctively shot out a hand to steady her. “Are you okay?” He asked her, searching her face that was confused. His hand touched hers and as if it was something alien she placed her hand around his chin and raised him up in the air. Dominic was taken off guard by her sudden attack but he recovered soon. Valencia would most certainly see him dead so he decided to pacify her. Meanwhile, Caleb who was watching from the side just realized how powerful the beautiful girl he had been planning to knock out was and blurted, “I…I am sorry, miss….mam…” Caleb felt that there was no way he would walk out of the situation alive. That made her look at him and she shook her head, her hands losing their strength momentarily as Dominic fell to the ground. Realizing his foolishness to have attracted her attention, Caleb tried his best to run away while whimpering and cursing. Meanwhile, Dominic
“What?” Dominic blurted out in shock to hear her say that. Dusting her hands, she replied, “This scum of a rogue said that to me instead of ordering a drink.” The alpha curled his fingers into a fist and punched him square in the jaw as well. While he had caught the pun behind the drink, to think that someone would even be near Valencia, and try to take advantage of her….his blood began to boil. Why was he having such murderous thoughts? Clearly, because he wanted to protect his archon. ‘Yes, that’s what it is,’ he told himself. And that someone was tied to a chair in front of him. Of course, he wanted to kill that rogue then and there. Caleb should have been thankful that the alphas merely punched him and didn't tear him apart because they still needed answers from him. After hitting the young man’s face, Dominic felt a little of his tension loosen up. Caleb slumped down on the ground, knocked off, taking the chair down
“Sent where?” Both the alphas chorused in unison. Caleb flinched a bit at the way both of them spoke in their commanding voices but tried his best to answer, they weren’t going to let him free either way and it looked like he didn't have the luxury of going back to his previous boss as well. Now, he could only answer to the best of his abilities and hope that they would show some mercy on him. Thus he began narrating, “I am not sure of the place but it was somewhere far away. We were blindfolded and we were taken someplace that looked like a cave from the inside. The journey had taken hours and it was a rocky road based on the constant bumps that we felt throughout the ride.” The alpha was about to say something but Valencia signaled him to stay put. She knew where this was going. Rituals and worship could only mean that a witch or a mage was behind all this. However what stumped her was why a mage would be involved in creating werewolves, if
Dominic took her to his home despite her saying over and over that she was fine. He immediately called Freyge and asked him to get all the medications possible to help her feel better. Thus, only fifteen minutes later, they were all sitting in the wide-open hall of his mansion while Freyge was pulling out a dozen vials and bottles to give her a potion. Valencia made a face to look at him mixing the different herbs into her drink, the smell already making her puke but she knew she couldn't grumble like a three year old. As such, she watched as Freyge prepared and handed her a quick drink while Dominic paced the room. When Freyge was done he asked him, “Did you find the answer to the riddle?” Before Freyge could answer, Valencia asked him, “Riddle? What riddle?” Her omega shook his head in denial and appraised her of the situation. Now, he wasn’t afraid that she would rip him apart as Dominic had told him of her sudden interest to meet t
Freyge handed the little scroll to the archon who only looked at him in confusion once before opening the soul. “Congratulations on passing the little test. I get called for little problems such as finding a missing family member or pulling a prank on someone. As such, I try to weed out those who really require my help against those who just waste my time. Based on the previous message that I had received, I was informed of some mage trying to tarnish the reputation of my community. I would like to very much hear about it but I have certain pressing matters to attend to. As such, if you can visit me in the next 48 hours, I should be able to help you. C.H” Valencia read the small message sent through the scroll loudly for both Freyge and Dominic to hear. Looking at both of them quizzically, she drummed her fingers against her knee, “What mage is trying to tarnish the mage community’s image? And how do you know who he is?” Dominic rushed to her an
While Freyge had gone to collect herbs and potions for the alpha’s journey to the Burham mountains, Valencia had gone to pack some stuff in a duffel bag. She didn't have much to pack though, only two sets of clean clothes, a pair of daggers, and she was done. Dominic didn't even bother carrying clothes and he just wore a long jacket with loads of pockets that he stuffed with daggers, and the potions Freyge had got for him. Normally, they would just transform back into their human forms with their clothes intact, a blessing given by the moon goddess to make them feel less awkward if they were around other werewolves. They could never have been thankful for a more suitable gift that helped him in battles, during the rare occasions that they would lose their wolf’s control or when they are turned for the first time. Thirty minutes later, they all met outside Valencia’s home. She slung her bag around her shoulder and looked at Dominic to see if he h
Despite all his protests, Valencia didn’t bat an eyelid and Dominic had no other option but to follow her. As it was dark, Valencia took advantage of the fact and drove towards the nearest station and filled up the tank to the full. The guy at the station eyed them weirdly as the bike was a little out of fashion but before he could say something, Valencia drove off after Dominic managed to throw a wad of notes at her. Valencia throttled the engine and zoomed through the forest not even letting Dominic get a firm grip on the bike. He wasn’t sure what made Valencia suddenly behave differently. She had been all serious before leaving her home but then the moment they left it was as if something changed. “Will you please let me know what has gotten into you?” He asked her though his voice drowned due to wind rustling past them. Valencia was driving the bike through the dirt paved road that was riddled with roots, rocks, and uneven land. Ther
Dominic was thrown on his back uncomfortably, the rope digging into his skin while Valencia lay on top of him. They were both suspended in the air, around twenty feet high and there was no sign of anyone who would either hunt or rescue them.The alpha tried to sound amusing, “Looks like whoever the hunter was, set the trap and forgot all about it.”Though even his voice sounded off to him. The heat was rushing to his cheeks once again as Valencia was sprawled against him, her knees bent awkwardly.“Can we try to get up?” She asked him hesitantly. He tried to stop his voice from shaking, “Not me, I have fallen enough times already. You may do as you please.”Valencia looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, “You dare talk to your archon like that?”A ghost of a smile appeared on the alpha’s lips as he countered her, “The archon drove through the forest like a raging bull, crashed the bike in a
