Deciding time.

AmandaAn hour earlier.As I paced back and forth within the pack house, my mind racing with ideas on how to deal with the ever-challenging Alpha Zane, I turned to my Beta, Alex. With a sigh, I turned to him, frustration evident in my voice. "We need to do something about Zane. I hate that he has this demand above us and I'm worried about the pack."Alex leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "I've been thinking about that too, Amanda. Maybe it's time we put our heads together and come up with a plan."I nodded eagerly, grateful for his support. "What do you suggest? We can't just confront him directly. That never ends well."A mischievous glint appeared in Alex's eyes, and he flashed me a sly grin. "What if we test him, just like you said but with a different method? See if he's truly changed his ways?"I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his suggestion. "Go on.""Well," Alex began, tapping his fingers on the desk as he organized his thoughts. "What if we

Time is running out.

ZaneTime was running out, that was all I could say. Things were becoming tighter and tougher with every day that passed and soon, I knew that if things continued this way, I would have no power over my own pack. The enemies were advancing and soon, they would take over everything. It was only a matter of time, and I needed to act fast. At this point, I didn't even care about the test that Amanda wanted to put me through. I was fully ready to do it if it meant saving my pack.If there was one thing I hated, it was to lose the respect of my pack members simply because I couldn't take care of them. I would become a total pushover, an insult. And if there was one thing I hated more than every other thing, it was the fact that I wouldn't be able to have any say in the affairs of my pack.“What has got you so tense?” Tiana asked, waddling in.One could hardly tell if she was pregnant or not but I knew she wasn’t. For years, we have been trying for a child but it just wasn’t working. I did

A report.

Amanda “Alpha,” one of my guards said, walking into my chambers.I looked up from the scroll I had received from my daughter, her scrawny handwriting making me smile. I couldn’t deny the fact that I had missed her terribly and I couldn't wait for all these to be done so I could go back to her and hug her.“Yes?” I said, placing down the scroll.“This is just a report. Sarah has successfully infiltrated the Blue Heart Pack.” He declared.“Oh wow, that fast? That’s good news.” “Yes Alpha, and I am assured that she would do excellently well because she knows what is at stake.”“Thank you for your words. What is your name?”I always made it a duty to know the names of my subjects. Knowing their names helped me to have a relationship with them and not just the Alpha-guard relationship. I believed in drawing them closer because it was through this that I could even gain their trust all the more.“Raphael, Alpha. My name is Raphael.” He smiled.I could see that he was happy. No doubt, he h

The source of the attack.

Amanda“Any news on Sarah yet?” I asked.It's been almost a week since we sent her to the Blue Heart Pack and we haven’t heard anything from her yet. I was beginning to get worried because I didn't know if she was alive and well and there was no way of finding out without exposing ourselves and the plans we have already set in motion.“You look worried.”I turned toward the direction of the voice and realized that it was Alex. There was also a worried look in his eyes because of the way I looked also. My plan wasn’t to have him worried but I couldn't help but feel that especially since we had sent that poor girl into the lion’s den. If anything were to ever happen to her, I would never be able to forgive myself because I had willingly allowed her to go into it.“Is it about Sarah?” He asked.I nodded, my mouth too heavy to say what I had in mind. Everything was getting so tense up that I didn't even know where to put a finger and what to even think of. I hated the fact that I was this

Doubts.

Amanda As I strode alongside Beta Alex and the guard, my anticipation and tension rose with each step. Marcus, the intruder who had dared to infiltrate our pack, stood at the end of our path. I could sense Alex's silent fury emanating from his presence beside me, a fierce loyalty to our pack evident in every line of his posture.“You need to calm down, Alex,” I muttered.When we finally reached Marcus, my strides faltered, and I came to an abrupt halt. He stood before us, a vision of masculine beauty that momentarily took my breath away. His presence was commanding, his features chiseled and intense, and for a fleeting moment, I found myself captivated by him.But then reality snapped back into focus, and I reminded myself of the threat he posed. I couldn't afford to be swayed by his appearance, no matter how striking it may be. Turning my attention away from Marcus, I glanced at Alex, noticing the tightness in his jaw and the glint of jealousy in his eyes. His loyalty to me and our

It is I.

AmandaWalking back into the house, my mind raced with different possibilities, things that Marcus could do if he wielded so much power such as this. I had no doubt that he was going to carry out his threat because if there was one thing I knew about people like him, it was that they didn’t bluff. They knew the risks attached to whatever it was they wanted to do and they didn’t care whose ox is gored, especially when it came to doing exactly what they said they would do.It was scary thinking about it but at the same time, this just gave us an advantage because for one, we knew where the threat was going to come from and we could be adequately prepared and secondly, we knew what we must do. Marcus wasn’t going to ruin all the plans I had prepared, I would rather die than allow him to do that.“I don’t think you should beat yourself over someone as inconsequential as Marcus,” Alex said.On some days such as this, I wished I could just slap the living daylights out of him because of his

I'll be seeing you soon.

MarcusSeeing the female Alpha just told me that angels walked amongst us. For the first few minutes, I could hardly process what it was I was looking at. Never in my life had I ever seen someone as beautiful as she was. It just felt as if she fell out of the sky to come and live with us humans.She was the most beautiful human I had ever seen and staring at her, I knew that her wolf would also be as beautiful as she was. Amanda was her name and it was such a beautiful name for a goddess such as her. The way she had spoken with clipped eloquence couldn’t be found anywhere else and I knew for a fact that as beautiful as she was, she would spell trouble but I didn't care because as soon as I set my eyes on her, I knew that I needed to have her.There was definitely no way I would let her go now that I had seen her. I needed to be near her, needed to hear more of her thought process and if it warranted me to sneak into her chambers, just like I did now, I would. I had also seen the way s

The gain.

Amanda“What happened, I heard some noise.” Alex said, bursting into the room.The only noise Marcus had made was when he was going out and I had a good guess that he had done that to leave a mark. I had seen the way he looked at Alex when I first met him and it was a look that wasn’t pleasant at all, a look that could kill if given the chance. As I sat at my desk, poring over the scrolls scattered across its surface, I heard a sudden commotion outside my chamber. Before I could even register the sound fully, the door swung open with a force that made me jump in my seat. Standing in the doorway was Alex, his expression a mix of urgency and concern."What's wrong?" I asked, my heart pounding with apprehension. The last thing I needed was an intrusion disrupting the fragile peace we had managed to maintain in our pack.Alex scanned the room quickly before locking eyes with me. "Amanda, there are rumors of an intruder in the vicinity. Have you seen or heard anything suspicious?"I hesit

I do.

AmandaThe evening descended with a sense of anticipation hanging in the air, like a taut string waiting to be plucked. The grand hall was illuminated by the warm glow of torches, casting elongated shadows that danced across the marble floor. I held court at the high table, surrounded by my elders, their presence lending an air of solemnity to the proceedings.As I sat at the head of the table, mulling over our next move against Alpha Zane and his pack, Gamma Beatrice leaned forward, her piercing gaze fixed on me. "What is our next plan of action, Amanda?" she inquired, her voice steady despite the urgency in her tone.I glanced around the table, meeting the eyes of each elder in turn before addressing Beatrice. "We need to exercise patience, Beatrice," I replied, my voice calm yet resolute. "Sarah, the spy we've sent into Zane's pack, needs time to gather information. We must allow her the opportunity to do so."Beatrice nodded, though the furrow in her brow betrayed her apprehensi

Thank you for your time.

AmandaIt was officially one week since we sent Sarah to the Blue Heart pack and already, expectations were already high. We expected results from her but at the same time, I knew that i couldn’t just pressurize her that way and also because i didn’t want to get her or any of my pack members in trouble and so, i needed to wait.“What bothers you Alpha?”Gamma Beatrice walked in with a worried expression on her face. I knew she cared about me, knew she cared about my wellbeing but at that moment, I just couldn’t deny the fact that I was scared and worried.“Is this about the ongoing plan?” she asked, taking a seat beside me.If there was another person I could confide in besides Alex, it was Beatrice and in that moment, I knew that I needed some girl time and what better way can I do that now than by talking with Beatrice. Staring at her, I remembered the first time we had met, on that cloudy day a few weeks back. It had happened so suddenly, our friendship that I didn't think that it
