Alice Walker Novels & Stories

RUBY. The burial site was somber, set at the back of the pack house, where a grave had already been dug. A simple wooden coffin lay at the center, surrounded by mourning pack members. Alpha Kael, Dawn, Carolina, and Beta Alvin stood at the forefront, each holding a pristine white bouquet that contrasted starkly with the dark earth. Clinton and I were right behind them, his right arm gently wrapped around my shoulders, offering me a surprising sense of comfort.

I flew toward him like a spring onion. I adjusted my glasses that nearly fell off and made a face as he stood there, hands in his pockets, legs apart—like a slim bouncer—while I fixed the stupid knot. I swear, if I could reach the ceiling, I’d tie him up there. "Mrs. Alma Walker celebrated her fiftieth birthday last week. She’s got two sons and a daughter—a gay, a bisexual, and a lesbian. She’s married to her seventh husband, Olson Walker, the eighty-four-year-old 'former' billionaire who used to own one of the biggest insurance companies... until his money vanished like magic," I recited in one breath, expertly tying his knot.

I can hand over Aleng Madielaine to the police but there's a side of me that I want to know her life, her profile and her problem. // WyByCa

“I am the Beta of this pack and must lead the pack on the Alpha’s absence…” “Point of correction, Mr Beta,” Ms Jo cut in. She pushed her hair back in an annoying manner and stood straight. “Alpha Arthur is dead…Or no, if you think I am wrong, provide him this minute!” she bashed. “I will not have you stand there and speak bad against the Alpha of this pack!” Dennis growled. His eyes shifted color and he was seconds away from letting his wolf out. If it was the last thing he did before dying, defending his friend and Alpha’s name, then so be it.

I crossed my arms and said, “We’ll I’m not the ghost of Christmas past. Now who are you?” She looked up and said, “My name is Delania O’Malley, Alpha Baylor.” I nodded, then said,”Everyone can get up. Dane, would you and your warriors take these folks and find a place for them before dinner? Alpha Colin and I are going to take Miss O’Malley to see if Siobhan needs help with anything at the pack house.” “Yes Alpha, if you all would follow me,” Dane replied.

Well that was the case for Alexis and the girl, just that their parting was just a day ago. Alexis waved to the girls and she head to Madam Lydia office, Madam Lydia was the CEO of the restaurant, and she was also one of Alexis patient, when she was in the office, even Madam Lydia was so glad to see Alexis in her office, even though it was just a day, it felt like years to Madam Lydia.

"She is yet to wake up. But according to the marks on her body, she has been under abuse for a long time. Others were still fresh." "It's like she had been whipped for a good number **of** years." The doctor said. "Do your best to make sure that she wakes up as soon as possible," Ashton said. "Yes, Alpha. We will do our best." Ashton waved his hand and walked towards the study room. Theo was following him. "What did you find out from your investigation?" "The girl's name is Maya Brown. She was saved by Mark Syden, the now alpha of wind winders pack." "What did you say her name was?" Ashton asked. He felt like he was hearing things.

Somewhere above, the pack went about their lives, unaware that in this hole, their Alpha was trying to extract something from a woman who had nothing left to give. "I don't believe you," he said finally. Something stirred in my chest. Something small and fierce and utterly defiant. Move, I commanded my body. Move. Show him. Prove him wrong. My muscles screamed in protest. My bones felt like they were grinding together. The wolfsbane dragged at every thought, every impulse, every desperate attempt to rise. And when our eyes met, I saw it. That flicker. That recognition. That sense of being seen that I had once treasured and now despised.

“Uh-huh. I hugged you really tight. I wanted your booboo to stop hurting.” Nathan frowned. “What are you talking about?” I looked at him. “I think…” The words felt fragile and enormous at once. “I think she’s healing me.” Nathan’s eyes widened. “What?” Sylvia spoke again, voice trembling with awe. She is Alpha born… and she is a healer. It runs in her veins. In that moment Nathan and I understood; our daughter, our Rosalyn was not simply an Alpha’s daughter. She was something far rarer. She was an Alpha born healer…

I said, raising an eyebrow. “No, they failed to mention the fact that I am an Alpha's daughter just as much as you are an alpha born. The one difference is me being a woman in the land of men might seem to be different while there are Alphas that are women. My father seems to think otherwise when it comes to a matter that says alliance.” She said sarcastically, making me chuckle. “So yes, pardon me for having a sharp mouth on me. I cannot really help it. I am an alpha born just as much as you are. The one difference is I do not hide under commands. My command simply happens when I walk inside a room.”
