Alice Lucian had a thing for large bathrooms. Hence, our bathroom was huge with pedestal sinks and fancy looking faucets on one side. A bidet, a toilet and an enclosed shower stood on the other corner. In the centre stood a sizeable luxury whirlpool tub, with white marble floors that gleamed dully in the dim light. The tiled walls were pure white and edged with accents of blue. A low mahogany bench held white fluffy looking towels across the room, while potted plants were placed strategically to further enhance the spa-like atmosphere. However, what surprised me though was the rows of candles lighted around the room, scattering of rose petals in the tub, and scented oil in the water? I was so shocked, I didn't notice Lucian standing near the tub with a satisfied smile. "What is all this?" I asked, taking in the ambience. "This is your bath, my dear," Lucian grinned at me. "A shower would have been fine, but....this is not too bad." I walked around the tub, surveying his handiw
LucianThe Alphas of the 30 packs sat around the long table, flanked by their enforcers who stood by the walls. The conference room was brimming with testosterone.Tension resounded inside the room, as everyone digested what the aftermath of the horrendous crime would do to the fragile peace among the werewolf communities. Not to mention the risk of getting discovered.One thing was apparent to everyone in the room, though; It was crucial they find the were or weres responsible, or the relative peace they had for the past 15 years would start breaking down.Every eye zoomed in on me. Since I was the one who called the meeting, they wanted to hear me answer questions that most of them thought of but hesitated to ask. I had just narrated the discovery of anonymous bodies near the pack lands. "It's quite bold them to dump the bodies on my land," I nodded towards Rick, "and Rick's pack territory. It sends a clear message to us.""I arrived at the same conclusion, my friend." Rick agreed.
Alice"Eliza! Run back with the girls." I screamed at Eliza."But Madam...." "Don't argue, we can't let them have our girls, Eliza and Peter. Run back with the girls. Roger and I will stop these brutes until the warriors arrive."It was a survival skill training day for the newly shifted girls of the pack's high school. I had accompanied Eliza, along with beta Roger and another warrior wolf, to this wilderness, near the edge of the campus. The 10 juvenile girls were pretty excited about the training. They had shifted and ran around in circles, getting familiar with their new wolves.It was a lovely day and everything was going on fine, we were already on our way back when suddenly we were surrounded by the wolves. My priority was to safeguard the girls. They were very young and untrained. Hence, I commanded Eliza and the warrior wolf to run back while Roger and I kept the attackers at bay.Roger and I faced off with four attackers each, biting and whirling in a series of motions desig
Alice -"Zaiden? He is Zaiden ?" I asked, staring at the unconscious boy."What was he doing in our area? He is not supposed to be here." Lucian was eyeing him suspiciously."I don't know, we can investigate once Zaiden is awake. If he hadn't been there, I might not have survived." I insisted.Lucian looked at me pointedly, I knew he wasn't convinced. "Maybe he was with them, and it's all part of the conspiracy. Save your life, gain our trust, infiltrate the pack and.....then God knows what he wants to achieve." Lucian muttered.That was very much possible. But the way he defended me, my heart refused to believe that as a ruse. However, I couldn't afford to be an emotional fool. That would put the pack's safety at risk."You might be right, but he is injured. We can't throw him out over a hunch!""We can't let him stay and endanger our pack, either." Lucian retorted."I reckon he can't do much if he is under surveillance frequently? Besides, he is injured. We might get some informatio
Lucian -Daniel and I stood facing the one-way mirror. His Betas had been constantly interrogating those rogue wolves since they regained consciousness. Daniel's pack was one of those lucky ones who had captured a few of these rogues alive. I had arrived at the Reds as soon as I got the news. I was curious to get a good look at them. The betas took turns beating them up again and again, but they remained tight-lipped, stubborn, and grinned mockingly at them. Daniel had become so frustrated by their constant defiance, that he finally ordered them to be chained. The rogues were dangling from the ceiling in solid silver manacles. The silver burned their skin and drained their strength, keeping their bodies from healing and regenerating. Splotches of bruises marred their skins, blood oozed freely from cuts and gashes they sustained from their beatings. They deserved worse, but he wanted to avoid killing them yet. We had to keep them alive to get information about their leader.Just think
AliceThe security team stood casually along the walls of the conference room. They were ready to strike and restrain Zaiden if Lucian commanded it. The atmosphere was tense for several moments as everyone arranged themselves.I sat beside Lucian at the head of the room and faced Zaiden. He was sitting in a chair, he seemed relaxed and non-resistant. 'You and me... We need to talk after this!' I said in Lucian's mind. I wasn't liking this at all. 'Sure.' That's all, was his curt reply."Ok, let's get over with it!" Lucian took the chair opposite Zaiden. "What were you doing near this pack?" he asked.Zaiden paused for a moment and the guard started to close in. He spoke before anyone could move on him, though. "I wanted to meet, and talk to you. You were not responding to my letters or messages, so I decided to meet you in person. I was walking through the woods when I came upon the attack on Madam Luna. I jumped in to protect her. That's all." "I don't believe you. It looks too g
Lucian"Here, put her in this bed." Dr Armand urged Damon, who was holding the unconscious girl.Damon gingerly laid her down on the pristine white sheets covering the narrow hospital bed. I looked down at her frail, battered body, she was barely out of her teens. She smelled off, similar to those rogues. My wolf Jake was on the edge.Dr Armand took his stethoscope and listened to her heart and lungs. "Where did you find her ?" I asked Damon.Armand nodded briefly at the nurse who slid next to him to assist with the girl. "We found her near the edge of the shipyard, we almost missed her. She was almost dead and, naked. She smelled odd. I thought she was also dead, like the other girl. But she was breathing and there was a weak pulse. I thought it was best to bring her here to get medical attention." Damon explained.Armand motioned for the nurse to take the girl's blood pressure while he inspected the bruises, cuts, and contusions covering her body. "She was badly beaten. I am surpr
Lucian-I was sitting in yet conference with the task force. Betas from several packs were giving out their reports regarding the rogues. "I ran background checks on those rogues, one of them was an escaped convict, another one was a local gang member. Most of them were human delinquents who disappeared a few months back. No one knows what happened to them, since they were criminals, the police didn't bother looking for them. However, they somehow turned and formed this rogue group." Damon said."So all of these were turned wolves?" I asked."No, a few were naturally born rogues wolves who joined them. However, they were also given some DNA altering drugs to increase their speed, agility etc."This was worrying, a genetically enhanced army of rogues would be hard to counter. This was worse than expected."Seems like someone is experimenting. Though it's failing." Daniel said with a smirk.All eyes turned towards him, expectantly."Explain," Rick asked."A few days ago, we captured som
