Death
Red moon pack and blood moon pack have been at logger heads for centuries, they've been enemies, who would do anything to destroy each other. For these few years I've been in existence, I've grown to know that the two packs wage war often, and each time it is done, damages were always caused. At first, I wasn't happy about the whole thing, and I always felt skeptical about the war, but I found out the reason behind the war, I realized that it's worth it, I realized that it's what needs to be done.
According to what my father, Alpha Carlos told me, he said that the then Alpha of red moon pack, Alpha Roberto, stole a precious stone from grandfather, which was one of his source of power, therefore making red moon pack now stronger than our pack, and since then, all efforts to get it back have always proved abortive.
Father told me that grandfather died before his very eyes, while trying to fight and get the precious sacred stone back, and not just that, his elder brother, who was to ascend the throne, got killed by Alpha Roberto before his very eyes, and he couldn't do anything about it. Since then, father had lived each day of his life, thinking of nothing but vengeance.
After the death of Alpha Roberto, father thought he could conquer the pack and get the sacred stone back, since his son is now the one on the throne, but he still never succeeded, as he was in possession of the sacred stone.
For the past few months, we've trained so hard for this day, and here we are today on the battlefield, waiting to shed our bloods, if that's what it takes to get the sacred stone, father was already determined that he was going to get the sacred stone back, even if it meant him losing his life, but I'm not ready to lose him now, so I'll do whatever it takes me, to protect him.
Glancing at father, who stood glaring at Alpha Blake and his minions standing a few meters away from us, his face held so much rage, and the thirst for vengeance. I've seen my father on the battlefield so many times, but I've never seen him this enraged or determined. To father, war was nothing, as he always fought and brought back victory to the pack, he is one of the strongest Alphas in the whole of Europe, so what do you expect.
He tilted his head to look at me, as our eyes met, and he gave me an 'are you ready' look, which I nodded to.
"Attack!" He roared energetically which boosted our warriors morale, and they charged forward.
He howled loudly as he transformed into his wolf form, his big brown wolf leaped forward and charged towards Alpha Blake and his minions, who also stood in readiness for fight.
They didn't flinch when they saw us coming in full speed, it seemed as though they're really ready for us but we didn't let that scare us or make us retreat...we must fight this fight.
Seconds ticked into minutes, before we finally got to them, and the war started, roars of pains were heard, as claws kept slashing very deep through soldiers of both sides, sending them lifeless to the ground, or severely injured and blood were spilling everywhere.
I made sure that I watched out for my father, his safety is what matters to me.
As I keep running towards the Alpha, who was now fighting with father, but the opponent soldiers wouldn't let me get to father and help him out. They kept charging at me, as if they were giving their Alpha time to deal with father, soon I'm surrounded by six wolves and they started circling me, I on the other hand, was studying them too.
Then one of them made the first move and charged at me, he raised his claw to slash my face, but I was very fast to dodge it and slashed his back instead and he let out an agonizing howl.
I quickly transformed, since it's very convenient to fight in my wolf form. A short howl left my mouth when I felt a slash on my shoulder, I turned and glared at the wolf who just slashed me.
I was about to charge at him when....
"Arrrrgh!" I suddenly heard a roar, which sounded like father's voice, and I was forced to stop and shift my gaze towards him.
My body tensed as I was welcomed with the most terrifying sight of my life, there was Alpha Blake's big black wolf's paw pressing father to the ground, with his teeth on father's neck and his claws deeply buried in my father's chest.
It felt as if the hand of the clock stopped moving at that moment.
"Father!" I roared in a very terrified tone.
I couldn't hold back, I channeled all my emotions into strength and fight off the wolves surrounding me, biting randomly and slashing randomly at them, until everyone of the fell lifeless on the ground, then I turned towards father but couldn't move my legs because I was too scared to move.
Slowly, he managed to tilt his head to look at me with so much pains in his eyes, but he still managed to smile. My eyes darted to the alpha's claws, there's a short dagger between his claws and that's what he stabbed father with.
An imprinted letter on the dagger caught my attention, and that was when it dawned on me, it wasn't just a dagger, it's father's long lost dagger, which he inherited from his father, that's the only dagger that can penetrate his skin, and he can't heal from the dagger's cut.
As if the soldiers just realized what's going on, they all paused with their mouth hanging. Alpha Blake pulled out his claws and got off father.
"Father!" I roared again, as I made to rush over to him, but fell on my knees, as I felt a slash on my back, someone just stabbed me. Blood started gushing out from the spot I was just stabbed, waves and sparkles of pains spread through my body, but the pains didn't matter to me, seeing father dying is what matters to me. Tears found their way out of my eyes, as I managed to crawl over to where his half lifeless body was now laying, as I cupped his cheek in my palms, tears pouring out of my eyes.
"Fath...father..." I called in tears, as I tapped his cheek.
"Ryd...Ryder..., take care my son..., you must get...get the sacred stone back." Those were his last words, as his bloodstained hand, which have been cupping my cheek, fell from my cheek, as he passed away with his eyes widened. I gulped down the lump in my throat, as I slowly took my trembling hand to his face, while running it through his face, before closing his eyes, pool of tears dropping from my eyes, my mouth trembled as balls of sweat formed on my forehead. I felt my blood boiling in fury, my fingers grew slowly into claws, my breath was now hitching, and in the next second, I jerked up and roared, as I shifted into my wolf, which was a huge one with raven furs.
I howled loudly, before charging towards him, but stopped abruptly, as I felt something pierced through my wolf's eyes, and that was all I remembered, as I fell well weakly on the floor, and passed out...
Episode 2
ALPHA RYDER P.O.V
A shadow appeared to me and I keep following the man unknown to him, the man suddenly stopped and I also stopped following.
"Roger go back and make my people proud" I heard a voice say which sounded like my father's voice.
"Father!" I called.
"Roger go!" He replied. "My prince! My prince!" A gently voice urged and I set my eyes open immediately.
"Where am I?" I asked looking around.
"You're back to the park my prince" Beta Khalid replied.
"No ooo! Where's father!" I yelled.
"Alpha Rodolfo is gone my prince" beta Khalid replied and I clenched my fist immediately.
"I'm so ûsèlèss, I can't even fight for my father, I can't protect him, but it's not over yet!" I said angrily.
"Calm down Alpha prince, we need to give Alpha king his last respect today" the Beta king replied.
"How long have I been sleeping?" I asked. "Twenty-four hours ago" he replied and I stood up from the bed immediately.
"What the hèck!" I look at my wound and it has healed up by itself.
Yeah, I'm a wolf and j have supernatural powers, one of the powers is healing.
I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room.
They placed father on a wood bench and I moved closer to his body.
"Father!" I cried out, as I hopped over to his body, and knelt before it, crying my eyes out.
I can't believe the father is gone, I grew up with him, he has been the only family I have after the death of mom, he has always been there for me and now he's gone, How can life be this cruel?
"Father!" I screamed in tears, as I felt my heart tearing into pieces. I wished he could open his eyes to look at me one more time, I failed to protect him, I should've been by his side, but I failed him, I allowed him to get killed. I couldn't control the tears that kept pouring out of my eyes endlessly, why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this fate?
"My prince we need to go please." Beta Khalid said from behind me, as he placed his hand on my shoulder, but I didn't move, as I was too weak to...
Author POV
Ryder watched as they arranged firewoods, ready to bring his father to his final abode.
It has always been in their culture, that if an Alpha dies, they don't bury him as they do to other normal werewolves, but he will be buried, and the ash will be kept for generations to come.
Tears kept pouring out of his eyes, as he watched them walk away from the firewood, and went into the hut, where his corpse was laying, and in the next seconds, some of the men came out, carrying the Alpha's corpse carefully.
"All hail Alpha Rodolfo !" Beta Khalid said as he fell on his knees in tears, and the people present chorused after him too, as they fell on their knees too, except for Ryder whose eyes never stopped staring at his father's body.
The men carried his corpse and placed it carefully on the arranged firewood, and as it is done, the Alpha prince always finishes the final rite and burns the corpse.
"Alpha Rodolfo was known for his good and fearless heart, he loved his people, and made sure that he always protects them, but too sad that death snatched him away from us at this time. May he continue to rest and dine with the moon goddess, till we meet again to part no more..., all hail Alpha Rodolfo!" Ryder gave the last speech with a heavy heart, as he slowly lit a match stick, and threw it on the arranged firewoods, setting it ablaze, as he watched his father's lifeless body burn slowly.. he couldn't control his tears as it keep on falling from his eyes.
He moved closer to his father's burnt body and a maid gave him a glass. He poured some quality of ashes into the glass and stood up immediately.
Five years later.
"Hazel Alpha sent for you," One of the maids said.
"What did I do this time around? His he in a good mood?" Hazel asked scared.
"You're his slave, you'll get the answers to all your questions when you get to his room," she said.
"You're so mean Amelia," Hazel said, Harriet, look back and gave her, her middle finger before walking away.
Harriet never liked Hazel she has been praying to be the king personal slave, despite knowing what Hazel is going through in the hand of the Alpha, she felt Hazel has bad luck and that was why Alpha Ryder is treating her badly.
They all know the type of person Alpha Ryder is, but she still loves him despite all.
Hazel later summoned courage and went to Alpha Ryder's room.
She closes the door gently and walked to the center of the room.
A thin line of smoke rose from the darkness and she strained her eyes to see him smoking a tobacco pipe closed to the window.
Despite how worriedness, she still notices how good the room is.
"when did he change the interiors of the room?" She asked herself.
If not for the atmosphere, because she didn't know why Alpha Ryder sent for her, she would have admired the room to her satisfaction.
"I'm here Master," she said with a shaking voice, but Alpha Ryder didn't turn away from the window.. he didn't even say a word.
He puffed more smoke into the air, and a knock came at the door.
"Good day, Alpha king!" Someone greeted and Hazel turned to see her twins sister dressed in a cloth that barely reach her knees.
"Harriet leave us!" Alpha Ryder said.
"But..." "Now!" Alpha Ryder said.
Harriet bowed and left not without glaring at Hazel.
Hazel felt her whole world crumble as she realized she was the only one in the room with him.
Episode 3
Silence crowded the atmosphere, as Alpha Ryder's aura radiated in the room.
Meanwhile, kneeling on the floor while fidgeting with fear written all over her, was Hazel, a young raven haired girl.
As much as she wanted to cover up her nervousness and not let it consume her, she couldn't do it, as she found herself drowning in it.
Her heart keep thumping heavily against her chest, as she waited eagerly for what the dangerous man called her for this time around.
Staring down at the floor, her fingers didn't stop fondling with the tips of her rag-like dress she was wearing, sweat emanated from her body, balls of sweat formed on her forehead.
As much as she wanted to tell him to tell her why he had called her, she knew she dared not to say a word, knowing it'll be the end of her, she doesn't want to die now. While still on her knees, she couldn't stop wondering what her offence was, why he had to call her this time around.
Just the thought of being punished by him again, keeps driving her to the edge of craziness.
He stared into space, as he puffed some smoke from his mouth and nose. If there was one thing he enjoys doing the most, then you can call it smoking.
He cleared his throat, and she almost jerked, but she did best to compose herself, in order not to give him the impression that she was scared. He hates cowards.
After what seemed like forever, he finally turned to face her, his face holding so much danger, and void of emotions as usual.
His facial look tells more about how dangerous he is inside. She dared not to look him in the eyes, that'll be as good as signing her death contract.
Pulling out the stick of tobacco from his mouth, he put off the light before he finally dropped it on the tray beside him.
"What did I tell you yesterday?" He asked calmly but his voice conveying nothing, but danger, and her heart skipped like a million times, as she flinched in fright.
"What was that for? Why the face? Do I look like a monster?" He asked angrily while glaring at her and she was forced to gulp down the lump that formed in her throat, as she stared down at the floor, praying silently that he don't hurt her as usual.
"Forgive me Alp..." A hot slap landed on her cheeks before she could finish her statement.
He had told her countless times to call him master, she is nothing but his slave, so she has no right to call him Alpha.
"Forgive me, master." Tears welled up in her eyes, as she felt her cheek hot from the slap.
As much as she wanted to rub her burning cheek, she knew that would be her worst mistake ever, so she chose to endure the pain.
"Don't make me repeat my question!" He thundered, as she tightened her grip on the tip of her dress, like she was seeking safety from it.
"Forgive me, master...I...I forgot." She whispered the last part to herself, but he heard her anyways.
He scoffed unbelievably as he stared at her for seconds before walking over to the bed, where his ringing phone was laying, and picking it up, he disconnected the call and dropped the phone again, before turning to face her.
"Did you say something?" He asked in his cold and deep voice, as he looked at her closely, his eyes holding so much anger.
"Master I..." Her words were cut in her mouth, as a hot slap landed on her cheek, sending her roughly to the floor, while she winced silently.
Tears poured out of her eyes, but she wiped it off immediately before he noticed it, as she bent her head down staring at the floor, while trying so hard to take in the waves and sparkles of pains that rushed through her.
"You forgot to prepare my bath water?" He roared, as he held her neck and slammed her against the wall, before choking her, making sure not to give her a breathing space, his dangerous eyes hovered over hers, while she struggled to breath.
"Maybe I should just kill you, no one disobeys my order! No one at all! You just signed your death wish!" He said, as he pressed her neck tighter. Tears found their way out of her eyes, as she stared at his dangerous eyes this time, so much pains rushing through her, she wished he killed her once and for all, but it seems he wasn't even thinking about that killing her, he just wanted to make her go through pains, and he was already on it.
Letting go off her neck, he pushed her roughly to the bed, before getting on top of her, while she just laid there weakly not trying to fight for her freedom, knowing it would be pointless.
Ripping her shirt off her body forcefully, he sent another hot slap to her face, while she just laid crying her eyes out.
She couldn't believe that he was going to molest her again, this is what she suffers from him for the past years of her life, he rapes her like she owned her body, he made sure that he inflicts pains on her with every seconds that passes by, but what she did to deserve all that, is what she kept asking herself, but never got an answer to. Maybe she was just destined to suffer all her life, maybe it was her fate after all.
He suddenly got off the bed angrily.
"Guards!" He roared, and in the next second, the door burst opened as two guards rushed in.
"Your Highness!" They both bowed, but he ignored them.
"Lock her up!" He commanded.
"Yes, Alpha" They chorused before nodding their heads and moved to Hazel. They gripped her like a thief.
"No food for her." He reminded them and they nodded before dragging her out half nakedly...j
