It was the first time that the mansion had become that lively, though the noise came from the vagabonds running around, panicking after the mishap that happened.
No one expected the old Vagabond to step up and move in front of them, taking the young-alpha’s attack head on.
Duncan, being too close and filled with rage, could not stop in time. But thankfully, he shifted his swing within the last minute, making the cut shallow. But it was enough to cause continues bleeding on the vagabond’s chest.
“What was that about?”
Julieta hissed, glaring at the young-alpha, whose actions were too irrational and unexpected. She couldn’t understand what could have triggered it.
Duncan remained unbothered by the loud nags and murderous stare of the head maid.
He sat on the last steps of the staircase, watching
On the other side of the town, another pack was also in the midst of chaos. Even though busy with their own issues, the sudden rise of Duncan’s pack brought too much noise.“This will definitely cause problems, Alpha.”Samuel, one of Lucas’ beta grunted behind him.They were following a trail near the entrance of the town where the bus passed. Until now, the only thing they had was the last area where Pen’s scent lingered.“Did he do something that we should be concerned about?”It did not bother Lucas.He’d known Duncan from a young age, and for him, the other alpha’s awakening wasn’t really something to worry about. Not for them, of course, though he wasn’t sure for the other packs.“Aren’t you afraid he might try something against us?”Joel chimed in, remembering how their alpha and the other one always clash whenever they’d meet.“Duncan has too much on his plate already to bother with us. And though we have our differences, I doubt he’d drag our childish rivalry into something mo
News about Duncan’s new pack immediately spread through the town of Silent Ridge Peak, causing a sudden tension within the peaceful setup of the place. There was now this rift between the large ruling packs and several other smaller once that have alliances, as many are aware that the newly established pack would bring a shift within the power dynamics.One pack, which was now in disarray, was the Blue Snow. After having invested so much time and effort, all their plans crumbled the moment they found out the young alpha’s awakening was not what they had expected.Within the halls of the Blue Snow’s mansion, three individuals gathered, poised to find a remedy for their problem.“You’re telling me we have to watch out for that pup? That, newly awakened, the son of that adulterous alpha!”Connor Sage’s voice boomed into the hallways of the mansion, his face twisting in a manner that made him look more beast than man.Elder Carro was keen to lower his head, swallowing hard upon sensing th
“Is this necessary?”Duncan grumbled as he sat at the back of the car, staring at the passing trees. Annoyed, they had to leave at such an hour because of the elder’s summons.“It’s just for formality, alpha. So please act accordingly.”Julieta heaved a sigh, rubbing the temple of her head to calm her own nerves. She was fearing for the worst, understanding the possibilities that may arise because of their alpha’s attitude towards these things.“A call this sudden and without notice? They’re clearly mocking me.”Duncan growled, his teeth now protruding, turning sharp and long, all the while he clench his teeth in annoyance.Both the head-maid and beta turned to each other with worried looks, sending the tension brewing because of their alpha’s temper.“The elders just want to be sure that the vagabonds we took in have truly assimilated into our pack.”Ben speaks up, breaking the awkward silence.It only made Duncan grumble. His face twisted in annoyance as the car was stopping.“We’re
When everyone finished their task, the group huddled in the hut. All of them filled with excitement at the binding.Each one had this twinkle in their eyes, still unable to believe their luck.Alfred set the group up properly, having the strongest in front, mainly the ones who can at least transform, those being Marco, Jules, Pietro, and Marcel, behind them were those that can use an ability, which were Helena, Aster, Fuchsia, and Melissa, the last in line were the ones who hardly showed any ounce of power, only being able to bare their fangs and claw, but only having strength the same as a normal human. Composed of the eight youngest.“All right, we should do this one by one to not put a toll on miss Selene.”Alfred announced with a firm tone, back straight with his hands back, standing upfront like a soldier that was readying his soldiers.The youngsters all nodded, their faces straightening, but their smile did not fade along with the glimmer of joy in their eyes.Hearing this, Sel
Days passed and somehow they were managing with their tasks, thanks to Alfred’s guidance. Despite that, there were things that were taking time because of certain challenges.Like right now, they were scampering about the whole place, trying to get things done, but some youths were having trouble with instructions and would end up running back to Alfred to clear some things, which causes a delay in their work.“Everyone watch out!”Selene screamed aloud, noticing a part of the ceiling that they were working on was crumbling. Just her shout was enough to make everyone scatter. It didn’t take a minute when the wood and parts of the roof fell on the floor. Thankfully, her warning avoided any injuries among them.“Don’t worry, Miss Selene. Will fix that.”Marco scratches his head, forcing a smile because they were struggling with repairs.“Are you all right, Miss Selene?”Alfred approached her, seeing how she can’t stop watching the youngsters scurrying about to do their tasks as fast as
After convincing Duncan and accepting the duty given to her. Selene immediately receive orders from Julieta to tend to their new members.Of course, she had no idea of what to do, so she’s left fumbling about. For the time being, she helps the group get settled in their new home.They got sent to one of the house a few meters away from the mansion which was behind the hedge maze.Selene stood in shock, swallowing hard as she stared at the rundown and filthy shacks with no doors. Its windows barely hang, and the roof and floors had holes and missing pieces.It was clear the place has been abandoned for years, neglected and left to rot.“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know there were such rules like this.”She felt down, having thought they’d welcome the group within the mansion like they did to her. But it seems the pack was giving a different treatment to them.“Don’t worry, Ms. Selene, what’s important is they’ve accepted us and allow us to stay here.”A female with a bobcat hair says, smili
