ll three of them reached the bedroom Valencia had been sleeping in less than a minute. As they had reached the corridor outside the room, Dominic saw everyone huddled together, far away from the bedroom. He looked at Freyge and signaled him to wait for a minute before he would call him inside. Adjusting his shirt, Dominic took a deep breath and turned the knob of the door. He had barely stepped inside and was pushing the door behind him when a white wolf pounced upon him, its teeth bared and inches from his face. Dominic wasn’t too flustered as he had somewhat expected this to happen given how he had stepped on broken china while placing his foot inside the room. The she-wolf had placed her paws on either side of the alpha, trapping him, and was growling at him menacingly. Dominic made no sudden movement but gently spoke, “Archon, this is alpha Castro, you know me very well, I bring no harm to you.” He had aimed to soothe her however his words

(Somewhere in the Burham mountains…) The next day the sun rose on the horizon but the sun rays couldn't reach the ground of the forest that was densely packed with tall trees that gave thick foliage. Plants struggled to shoot up to receive sunlight and the smell of soft grass spread through the air when a tall man stepped on it. He was being very slow and careful. His long silvery-white beard along with an equally pristine white robe was a stark contrast to the various shades of green and colorful flora everywhere around him. The man was probably a few thousand years old but barely looked to be seventy. There were fine wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes but save that his skin looked taut and firm. His eyes darted from left to right as he looked around searching for what he had come for. It had been his third attempt and his patience was beginning to wear off. The first two times he had let the intruder leave but not now. The robe swished in

Both men turned around to see Lucy who got a little nervous to see them suddenly throw their gazes at her.While Dominic only continued to look at her curiously, Freyge’s face lit up as if a light bulb went off. Hastily, he ran across the table to the far corner of the rows of shelves and reached for a glass jar placed behind several other jars and vials. After retrieving the jar, Freyge looked at it happily and ran towards the beaker ignoring alpha Dominic's questioning stare.He added just a twig of the wolfsbane roots from the jar and stood behind. For a moment, nothing happened and Freyge’s smile began to droop.He turned around and spoke to Dominic, “I am sorry Alpha. I don’t think this would work. I-”As he was speaking, there was a loud pop sound that made him turn around again to look at the beaker. He slowly approached the beaker and sure enough, the black gooey liquid had turned into a crystal clear liquid.F

“Archon…Archon”Valencia’s mind was reeling. She held to the tree for support and leaned onto it. She was afraid that she was losing her mind. There had never been a day when she had been unsure of herself, but now, when her mind was beginning to play tricks on her, now she was beginning to doubt herself.“Archon…archon”The voices grew louder, persistent. It was her pack members, trying to get her attention. She took a moment to take a few deep breaths and calm herself. There was no way she could let them see her like this; afraid and confused.She clenched her hand into a fist and punched the tree, the tiny jolt of pain momentarily making her forget everything else. It helped because when her pack had arrived, she looked her usual self.Her gamma, Nathan had just reached her followed by the other members, Julie and Clark who were close on his heels.“Yes?”Valencia asked them w

It was well past dark and there were only a few customers in Rugor’s place. Dominic hadn’t wanted to take the girl all the way to that place but Valencia had opined that it was the farthest from human activity and probably would make Jenny feel better.Thus, Dominic had brought a car because Jenny had been too weak to transform into her wolf again. Thus, the three found themselves huddled at a far corner table of the diner.Rugor, the ever-enthusiastic owner of the shabby place was more than excited to see the archon again. After the incident of last time, he had feared that they would never return again. However, seeing both her and alpha Castro made him feel happy.Determined to make up for the goof-up of last time, he made all the other customers leave and ensured that nobody except him would serve them.Jenny was eating heartily while Valencia and Dominic just watched her, trying to find a good opening to talk to each other. They could hav
