The Alpha's Twins

MIGUEL'S P.O.V

I whined, clasping tightly onto the obsolete bed, trying not to tear up in his presence.

"I suppose you aren't feeling the pain right, just wait for this'' I screamed in great agony at his next action. It felt as though pepper was applied to my fresh wound. I turned to face him. It was the razor blade again, he didn't miss one thing. I sobbed loudly, holding on to the pillow, trying hard not to wail.

"Do you need another memento of why I'm here...to remind you to hang around where you pertained as a weak wolf. I know you stepped on my expensive cloth intentionally, you swine!" He growled with a giggle. His laughter sounded so wrong. I looked away, avoiding eye contact, I could feel my tears rolling down my cheeks. I felt as though I had been abandoned by everyone who was around me. Furthermore, I began to weep harder and cried out of fear. The sharp edge sliced through my skin again. I heard the door slam open and mother entered the room. She is a savior.

"And what do you think you're doing?" She tries to keep her cool.

"Teaching your son some manners since he lacked all," he uttered with so much hatred in his eyes. Mother held her gaze on him for a while, trying to do much to control herself. Jason had gone extreme this time around.

"Teaching him manners, or just venting your anger on him for not shifting at such a young age?" She taunted her hand at akimbo. He replaced the vivid anger that flashed across his face with an evil smirk.

"He shifted at such a young age because he is cursed, nothing to be jealous about" he snickered.

"Leave the room now" her voice was authoritative yet calm. He dared not defile Luna's order. He gave me a last scary glance and stomped out of my room. I burst into fresh tears immediately after he was off.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Miguel" Mother hugged me and I wept harder. She laid me on my back and stared at my wound with a grimace.

"Even if I treat the wound, it won't heal quickly. The beta went extreme this time around" mom said angrily as she tried to wrap me up in bandages.

"I need you to do something, dear". She said with a shaky smile. Combing out my long hair with her hands.

"What is it mother?" She couldn't heal it completely, but the pain had reduced.

"Converse with Bruno, tell him to help you heal" she gently said.

"You mean my wolf can help me heal?" she nodded. I shifted at the age of ten, and the whole Pack concluded only the cursed shift at such a young age except mom.

"All you have to do is concentrate on your conversation and tell him to help you heal" I closed my eyes to concentrate and conversed with him and to my uttermost surprise, my wound healed up. My skin was as smooth as always. I looked up at mom in shock.

"You did it" She grinned widely. She kissed both cheeks, succeeding.

"You may come in," she said, and a maid walked in with a bow.

"My lady, the alpha demands your presence," she said, face down.

"Tell him I will be there in a jiffy" she bowed and left.

"We need to keep something a secret, son," she said, already on her feet. I stared at her questionably.

"Do not heal yourself no matter the agony you're going through when your father punishes you, don't heal unless it's necessary?" she said and placed one last kiss on my cheek.

"Be good now, I will lock the door to avoid Jason's entry" and she left my room hurriedly.

Seeing how the situation is, I couldn't ask her the reason behind it. I lay back down and took deep breaths. She locked the door and promised to bring my food. I've been indoors for years on my father's order. The last time I saw my twin brother was when I shifted. Father caught me staring at my brother. I couldn't get enough view of him due to excruciating shifting pain. He looked like he was coming from a training ground. Father had threatened he would pluck the eyes of a ten-year-old me out of its socket if he ever caught me staring at the future alpha again. Father's hatred and partiality had gotten to me just like a dagger deep down in my heart. The word father sometimes sounds odd in my ears. I disposed off the torn clothes from the beatings and took a quick bath.

For ten years now, I've been hoping I would be loved someday, but the hope kept fading off. "I'm thirsty," Bruno mumbled, and I scoffed.

"You want us to get another beating from Jason?" I cut off the connection immediately. I had run into the devil and mistakenly stepped on his cloth, and he had me punished severely. The thirst had disappeared after the beta's cruel beatings. Living like a slave in this house isn't life at all. I might elope someday if this suffering continues. I was drifting to sleep when I heard a loud bang on the door.

"Open this door, Miguel, I know you're in there!" It was Umberto, the beta's mate. They are beds of the same feathers. I hissed and covered my ears with pillows. Father gave room for all this. An alpha's son was being insulted in his father's house.

"I'm sorry, son, I apologize for all the maltreatment I lashed on you. I was stupid" father apologized, and I cried harder. I thought about all that happened to me in the past. Now he wants to make me the alpha of the Pack because Miquel betrayed him.

"You're sorry because your favorite son betrayed you and not because you truly love me," I said, weeping. I've been enslaved in this house because of his orders. I was humiliated. Everyone thought I was useless because of how he treats me.

"No, this throne is for your precious son, Miquel, and not me. It's not right to accept what belongs to my brother, so I don't want it" I cried and walked away.

"Miguel!" Father screamed and I jerked upright. It was a nightmare. I rinsed my sweaty face off and stared out the window. It's my brother. He was holding a sword, looking so drained. Everyone bowed, not minding his age as he passed by with Seneca beside him. Seneca is the head of gamers in our Pack and also Miquel's Guru.

MIQUEL'S P.O.V

"What's with you today, you mastered this skill days ago, and you've forgotten?" Seneca groaned, frustrated holding firm to his sword.

"I'm sorry, Seneca. I'm not just feeling good today" I hate all this, but I have to do it since it's mother's order. I raised the sword trying to strike again but winced in pain going down.

Everyone always thought I was going to be the alpha, but a piece of shocking news is awaiting them. My monthly visitor is back again, and I'm weakened. I'm a girl in a boy's disguise. The whole Pack except the midwife that attended to mother. I wasn't given a solid reason, but mother insisted I have to act this up to protect my life, and here I am, doing things boys should do forcefully.

"Maybe I will be healthy tomorrow, I will take my leave now" I gathered all the strength in me and walked out of the training ground. It's a big, spacious place and not far from the palace. I relaxed in the hallway and signaled a maid.

"Call me my mother" I managed, and she swung into action.

"What happened to you, my child," she said, seeing the terrible state I was in.

"The pain is back again, mother" I mind-linked. She carried me up and took me to my room.

"I don't think I can do this any more mother, it's so hard maintaining this. I want to live my life as a girl which I am mother" The pain kept on increasing. I'm sick of this. My stomach hurts terribly, and I still have to keep up with my training. I had been in this training since I was six. It's like all my happiness was drawn away from me.

Mother sighed, looking at every angle and caressed my cheeks.

"You really don't sound like my daughter right now, I know it's hard, but my daughter is strong and will always endure everything. Now bring yourself back together because I can perceive your father's arrival. I assumed Seneca informed him about your illness already" she arranged my dress well and I tried composing myself.

"Is the future alpha feeling weak again?" Jason taunted.

"Envy led to the death of many people, Jason. Just voice out you're being jealous the alpha has an heir to the throne. Feeling pathetic because you won't be the next ascending the throne, huh?" She replied in a taunting tone. He growled but had it replaced with a smirk. He tries to suppress his surprised face with an uncomfortable smile.

"Oh don't be perplexed, your Luna can read minds can't she?" She smiled and stared at me.

"Don't be sick Miquel, you have a lot of responsibility to shoulder" I nodded.

"I held you are not feeling good," Father said, coming in with his long thick renaissance flowing along with him from a little distance. Everything about him speaks of authority and power. He looks like the alpha indeed. He is six feet tall with a great, well-built body. His hair was curled to the back, and it rested on his shoulders. He had his mustache shaved stylishly. He is revered by everyone in the Pack and the laboring Packs which he oversees. The beta bowed as he passed him.

"Yes, father" I was still in pain.

"I hope you ain't faking this illness to avoid training because I was told you were not feeling good last month also" I quickly focused my gaze on his renaissance dress. He is the alpha, after all. He will detect the wrong in me if I maintain eye contact.

"You should always have this in your mind son, a day shall come when you have to rule this Pack with eighty other Packs alone either you are unwell or healthy. I've told Seneca you must go for your training tomorrow healthy or not, you won't die" he ruffled my hair.

"Yes, father" I drawled with a bow. I dare not question his authority. He halted in his step and turned to mother.

"What's the matter, my dear Persis, you kept on obstructing my communication with you," he said softly and caressed her cheeks. He is always gentle when it comes to Luna. Rumor has it in the Pack that mother is his only weakness.

"I'm sorry, your grace. Can you spare Miquel for the next two days? He is really not feeling good"

"He didn't complain, did he? I know his capabilities" I knew there was an impossibility at my mother's request, though. Father is a man of his word. He walked out of the room afterwards. He will be the end of me someday. Jason stared at us with an evil smirk on his ugly face and followed father. I stretched outside my fingers, straightening them straight to his legs and he fell on his belly. Mother gave him a satisfying smirk. He must have thought that was mother's handwork.

"Mother, I might collapse tomorrow during the training. Shall we switch with Miguel? I'm so sure he would be delighted to help me" she looked away thinking about it.

I hope this works.

MIGUEL'S P.O.V

"Miguel," my mother said quietly. I sat up, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and looked at her.

"What's the matter, mother, it's so late?" I shifted, so she could sit next to me on the small bed.

"Well, I have a surprise for you, come on Miquel," there at the door is someone I've been wanting to meet for a long time. I dashed away and hugged him.

"Miquel, how are you doing? I've been missing you terribly. Please take a seat," He sat down and smiled warmly. When I looked down the corridor, the guards were already snoring. I know it's my mother's work.

"Thank you, Miguel; I missed you too, but father would be furious if he saw us both together," he grumbled. We laughed and talked about ourselves for a few hours. It felt like a long-lost part of myself had returned.

"It will soon dawn, and before I leave, I need you to assist me with something, brother," I said anxiously, urging him to speak.

"It's your first demand, and I will certainly grant you your wish," he said solemnly.

"I'd like us to swap positions until tomorrow because I'm currently feeling ill. Please, Miquel, you're the only person who can help me right now." I took in what he said and looked at him with wide eyes. If I'm caught, it's like playing with fire, but I'd love to go out. I just want to get out of this hell.

"Let's do it," he said cheerfully. He explained everything I needed to know about Seneca and the training. We changed our clothes, jewelry, shoes, and headbands.

"How do you feel wearing my clothes?" he asked as he sat on the bed.

"It feels great, really great." I went to his room with Mom, while he stayed in mine. I looked at mother, unsure whether to open it or not, and she urged me to do so. Encouraged by her words, I gathered my courage and entered, closing the door behind me. I was staring at everywhere. His room is identical to the alpha's room. I looked over at his study table, which was neatly arranged with historical books. I took a look at them. I read 'Wolf gang pack history.' I'm not a great reader, but I can get by. Father sent teachers to me, but nothing piqued my interest because I was so young and neglected.

I took it up and moved the lantern closer to my reading position. I discovered a lot about our pack. Wolfgang pack has overseen the other laboring packs for five centuries. Now I understand why our father works so hard to shape him into a true alpha. War could break out at any time, and they must always be prepared, especially the future alpha.

"The future alpha is awake!" A man said in a loud voice, and the door opened. I stared at them all as they all bowed. Some were holding soap, some oil, some held Miquel's shoe and another perfume. Some held clothes for the day. He wanted to say something, but I beat him to it.

"Your future alpha is not feeling good, drop everything and leave. I will help myself" I faced the wall, and they obeyed.

"But my..." I didn't give the nanny room before shutting up the door on him. I came out and met Seneca at the big dining hall. Miquel was right about him not taking his work for a play.

"The earlier we leave, the better because we need to catch up for yesterday and today's training" I couldn't conclude whether he has a harsh or friendly voice, but he was quite strict. Miquel's sword was handed over to me and off we went to the training ground.

"Warriors are training here too today" I just hope that's the fact. Miquel told me this battleground is only for royalties, so it's a surprise seeing warriors here.

"You should be able to knock out half of them with all the skills I've taught you, that's if you're still feeling weak" that means Miquel would have knocked all of them off if he was on his feet. I stared at them all. They all have great bodies and are advanced in age, unlike me. I'm surely going to die if they fight me. I controlled the urge to scream at Seneca. The urge to tell him this is Miguel and not his pupil, but that's dangerous. I'm between fire and ice.

"I'm so going for his neck"

"I'm going to get Jason's reward for killing the alpha" mom told me reading people's minds all the time is bad, but I had no choice.

"Jason, that snitch!" He sent them because he knew Miquel was weak at the moment. So, they would kill him and tell father it was a mistake.

"Pardon? How did you know Jason sent them" oh, right?

"I'm not still feeling good Seneca, can't we just do training today and I will fight them tomorrow" I changed the topic. Now I understand Jason not only hates me, he also despises my brother to the extent of wanting him dead. I held the sword tightly to the ground. I'm terrified.

"I can perceive fear, don't be worried that they have scary statures. They are just inept as long as you use the skills you've learned" he incentivized. The thought of Miquel being murdered by this swine made me go ballistic. This would have been easier if it was my brother. All my life was to be locked in my room without freedom, without training.

"The battle is starting now, so go" I remembered I could communicate with Bruno. He will be glad to help. "I can only help by taking control of you"

"Be ballsy and balmy, that's a way to fool them" I nodded. Thinking about what I read in their minds. I had no option but to give in to my wolf's demand.

"The battle line has been drawn, strike!" It was Jason's devilish voice." Little did he know he is here to witness the death of his precious warriors and not our brother" Bruno smirked.

"No Bruno, fatal injuries are enough" I yelled as a sword sliced through my hands, but I healed up immediately. With anger in my voice, I walked briskly into their midst, slaying them mercilessly. I wasn't in control anymore. Everyone seemed to be lying lifeless by the time I came to my real self.

"What have you done, Bruno!" The scene before me was horrifying.

"They are terribly injured but not dead" he shrugs. I bent down and cleaned the sword with one of the warriors' clothes. I stared at Jason, and he had this dazed expression on. He lost his voice to announce me as the winner.

"You look so ridiculous and funny right now" I taunted and bowed at Seneca, and he smiled. I felt so thrilled to bits!

"You're really improving Miquel, Keep it up" I gave him an overcoming grin as he walked out.

"Your grace" Everyone greeted father as we got to the palace. He walked up to me. I knew immediately there was trouble.

"Let's run!" Bruno screamed at me, but that would make father go ballistic the more.

He bent down to my level and gave me a thunderous slap. For the first time, I saw stars blinking colors in broad daylight. It stings!

"I never want to believe it, but it's true, guards, bundle him to the throne room!" He ordered.

"So this is Miguel, serve you right" Jason taunted.

"I could kill you right now, but you deserved a painfully slow death. A death where you will beg for death, but you won't find" I don't understand why I suddenly became fearless. His countenance changed. Guards came afterwards and took me away.

"I'm sorry" I heard Seneca whisper.

MIQUEL'S P.O.V

It feels so great to be on a break for a day. All I did was eat and sleep. The pain I was feeling down there has also subsided. All I do is fight all day and rest at night. The fact that I won't be the alpha in the end made the training look like a torment for me.

"Miguel has been caught, the guards are on their way to get you" mother mind linked me and fear gripped me. I gulped a cup of water to calm my nerves down and sat on the bed.

"The alpha demands your presence now," a guard said harshly, holding my arms tightly.

"Do you have a death? I can walk on my own" I glared at him, and he released me abruptly. He knows better than to act rashly. I strolled to the Courtroom fidgeting with my fingers. I stared at the horrible scene before me and quickly ran to stop the guards. I put Miguel in danger again. He was being held by two guards and flogged mercilessly by another guard. Blood was dripping from his back already.

"Father please, I forced him to do it because I was feeling unwell" I pleaded trying to pull the guards off but as expected, they were stronger. I stared at Jason. He has this evil smirk on. I ran to my father and bowed my head, continuously pleading with him. My head was aching with the hit, but I didn't care.

"I beg of your father, let Miguel go" I wept continuously, but my plea fell on deaf ears. I focused my gaze on the guards and closed my eyes. I opened them and they all fell.

"Miquel!" Father barked.

"Father, please punish me instead" I cried, bowing down to him again.

"How dare you use your power against my order!" The room shook at his thunderous voice. Fear gripped everyone as he stood up.

"I'm sorry, your majesty. It was I and not Miquel" Mother said on her feet. He became perplexed as she nodded.

"Your majesty, spare them please" She held on to his feet sniffing. I can understand. How can a mother bear to see his son being beaten like a thief? Father looked away. He detests seeing Luna's tears.

"Women and their crocodile tears" Jason chipped in jokingly, but no one laughed.

"Be silent! How dare you interfere in the alpha and Luna's matter?" Mother growled at him and he kept mute.

"Please Persis, those tears are too precious for a judgement I've made, so dry them please" he gave her a handkerchief. He glanced at Miguel, who was in pain. He knows better, not to heal himself. Furthermore, he stared at me and I quickly fixed my gaze on the floor. I dare not stare at those scary pairs of dangerous eyes.

"Despite the love and care I showed you, this is what I get in return?" Father whispered calmly. If only I could object, I don't want anything from him. I only want my brother. The partiality is too much. Miguel is also his blood!

"You made friends with those who should bow and worship you and switched positions because of your fake illness!" He raged. My long hair kept on gumming to my sweaty face.

"Seems you forgot you're the future alpha, and he is just an empty barrel. One day, you will have to rule this pack and over seventy laboring packs. Is this how you will befriend your enemy?" He thundered again. Why does he keep telling me Miguel is an enemy? If this is what it means to secure power within the wolf gang territory, then I would rather not be an alpha, nor will I want Miguel for it.

At the end of everything, father ordered that Miguel should be put in the dungeon for a couple of days with little water and without food, whereas I, the root of the problem, wasn't punished. He forbade us from seeing each other until further notice.

I sat in my room, wallowing in my grief. I haven't eaten anything for two days. Sharing in my brother's punishment made my heart feel lighter.

"Miquel, please!" Miguel had mind-linked me for the first time. I suspect it's Jason. I dashed to the dungeon before the guards could catch up with me.

"How could you.?" As I saw what she was about to do, I screamed at Umberto.

MIGUEL'S P.O.V

I screamed out the more as the beta's wife hit me with a rod used on criminals. I was tortured by Jason yesterday, and now it's Umberto. My life can't be less complicated. She held on to my neck tightly, making me choke on my breadth. Bruno kept screaming at me to allow him to take over, but I'm anxious she would die due to his bitterness for her. A guard entered the dungeon with a tray in his hand.

"It's a wolf bane, you will feel so vulnerable, neither will I. We need help!" Bruno cried out at me impatiently. Trying so hard to endure the pain, I mind-linked Miquel for assistance, and thankfully it worked. I wish he was within the palace. I couldn't endure the pain anymore. Furthermore, I had to converse with Bruno to help me heal.

"You son of a bitch! You dared to..." She was unable to finish the statement before landing on her butts. There at the door was Miquel, looking so furious. His eyes were red, and his long hair swiveled silver.

"How dare you call our mother a bitch!" His voice echoed seven times and his hair shone like a gemstone. I had to cover my ears and eyes. I doubt if he is leading his body anymore. The foundation of the dungeon shook with every step he took. She was already bleeding due to the fall.

"Miquel" I managed to call. His nails appeared out longer.

"Please, my Lord, save my mate!" I looked at the door and people were there already. Jason kneeled to father. No one could believe their eyes. Miquel walked slowly and as he was ready to pounce on Umberto, I jumped on her instead. The last thing I could remember was people calling my name while I was losing blood.

"Miguel!" Miquel called, coming back to his senses. I felt lightheaded as I closed my eyes.

Everywhere was as silent as a graveyard as I walked through the lonely lounge. I've been walking through the lounge for several days and I haven't met anyone. I sat down beside a flower to catch some rest. I haven't seen any streams nor did I feel Bruno. After getting some rest, I continued on my unknown journey. It was dark, and I still haven't found a soul. My eyes narrowed straight, and I saw a light of fire. I hastened my steps and saw a magnificent building. I have never seen a mansion as big as that. There on the door were ogres with horns. They had monotonous faces, black and red.

"The king has been waiting for you, come in please" his voice echoes three times. I hesitated a little before coming in. The door locked itself behind me as I entered. Everywhere was dark and scary with audible sounds.

"Welcome to Sangoya kingdom!" The voice echoed loudly five times and I had to obstruct my ears. It was a masculine voice. Suddenly, there was light and there came a drum. Ladies also came forward to romp to its rhyme. They had special long hair with their eyes blinking different colors. Some were accentuating fire from ears, nose, mouths, and eyes. I saw a couple on the throne elegantly dressed in wine and gold attires. After some minutes of dancing, they left.

"Welcome to my kingdom. Here you will have all your wishes fulfilled. I saw how little they regaled you in the Wolf gang Pack. I'm giving you my word, we will forever cherish you here if you help us fulfill our dreams. You can also get your revenge on Sabastan and Jason if you will cooperate with us" my senses were gradually returning to me. How did he know my father's name?

"What is your dream?" I demanded softly.

"To conquer the world. Both humans and wolves, we will rule the world, and only you can assist us" he said with a sarcastic laugh.

"Where am I?"

"In the spirit world of the seven sisters" he replied, and I mouthed an oh. That means everyone here is spirit, including me.

"If we join hands together, that means we will rule the world together. I will also give you my beautiful daughter's hand in marriage" his daughter fixed her gaze timidly at the floor. I thought about Miquel and mother.

"Don't worry about me, the Pack doesn't deserve you. Join hands with them and rule the world together" that was their reply.

"No I can't do this" I voiced thinking about the innocent lives. "Have you thought about the innocent bairn before presenting these selfish plans of yours? I will never bow to your wish" I screamed at his next action. The temperature suddenly grew hot from cold. I tried to, but my spirit was trapped in a burning furnace.

"No!" I yelled with all my strength and dispersed everywhere.

"He is awake," a maid said. Where am I? I thought about looking around.

"My son!" mother cried while hugging me. I tried to sit up but laid back due to the excruciating pains I was feeling in my head.

"How is Miquel?" Everything was a trance. I hope he is alright.

"He fell into a coma a few minutes after you lost consciousness. You must be hungry" I stared at myself in a mirror and exclaimed.

"For how long was I in a coma?" I could feel someone had helped me to shave my mustache. I've always treasured it, waiting for it to grow, but it has been shaved off.

"Two months and ten days" I stood up, astonished. I contacted Bruno to help me heal as I managed to stand on my feet.

"I need to see Miquel, mother" I staggered briskly as they took me to where he was.

"Your father has been on the edge ever since the incident" mother whispered. He is feeling distraughted that his precious son is in danger. I scoffed.

"Greetings father," I bowed in respect and went to where Miquel was laid.

"What have you been able to do, baba?" the healer sighed sheepishly.

"Everything I tried didn't work. Only you can wake him,'' he replied. My dreams kept on preying in my mind. What if he is also having the same dreams where he sees mother and I?

"Mother and Miguel were just an illusion, you saw them because you thought about them" I kept on repeating that into his ears. That cruel king and his kingdom must be trying to convince Miquel with our illusions right now. What I was saying didn't work, so I changed it.

"Miquel, whatever you're seeing or hearing right now is our illusions, tell the king of Sangoya Kingdom that whatever he is demanding of you is a NO. Do not succumb to his wish, Miquel!" I kept repeating it, but it seems it was not working.

MIQUEL'S P. O. V

"Come join hands with us!" Everyone in the throne room kept on bamboozling me. Their proficient drummers are not helping either. I wanted to say NO, but I lost my voice.

"Whatever he is demanding from you is a no" I kept on hearing the calm incentive voice. I felt a power carrying me from where I was, but Miguel appeared and pushed me away before I could join hands with them.

"Miguel." I screamed and jerked upright.

"You made it brother" he smiled at me and I hugged him so tight.

"I made it all thanks to your assistance" I put in much effort to control my emotions.

"I'm hungry," we said simultaneously and smiled.

"Greetings father" he nodded, staring at me intently.

"I'm sorry I inflicted the pain on you" the last thing I could remember was leaving the room to attend to his call. Father left us alone and that was a relief.

"Now that father left us for a while, let's do something interesting" he suggested, feeling exhilarated.

"Mother said father will be occupied, let's go" he left my room.

"I'm on the edge of your seat so you better not let me down" I breathe heavily trying to catch up with him. We got to the magnanimous palace garden, and I was wowed.

I stared at the garden, enjoying the view. The atmosphere looks so inducing. I inhaled the fresh hair, feeling exhilarated. I wish I could stay here all day.

"Are you listening to me?" Miguel tapped me and I came back to reality.

"Huh?" I turned to stare at him and screamed out, appalled. He was stark naked and his manhood was dangling as he faced me. I don't think I can do this anymore. I quickly turned back to him and covered my face, petrified.

"What was the scream for? I thought the alpha should be ballsy" he uttered, making me feel more sheepish.

"Can you stop calling me the alpha and I won't stare at you until you wear your clothes?" I was still backing him, my hands on my face.

"I'm so confused, we are the same gender, and you're acting like the opposite. I thought you would be thrilled to bits about seeing me transform into my wolf form, but I guess you're feeling disillusioned right now, let's get out of here then" he said in the death of despair.

"I will love to see you transform" I shrieked delightedly. I closed my eyes and counted ten and there before me is a medium fluffy wolf wagging its tail. I touched his fur tenderly. I know I will transform one day, but I keep asking myself when? I watched as he ran forth and back, admiringly.

An hour later, he came back in his human form and I threw his cloth at him.

"You're being unbelievable brother" he wore his cloth, sitting beside me. I looked away, mortified. I promised not to tell anyone, but Miguel is not anyone, right?

"It's almost dark, but I can teach you some fighting techniques" I changed the topic, and we swung to action.

It's been a month already and Miguel is now completely healed. The hall was filled to the brim with Alphas, Lunas and Gamers of the eighty Packs of father's subjects. Father was on a seat with his beautiful Luna beside him. Miguel sat down beside me for the first time. Today is a judgment day for Umberto. She had been in the dungeon since we fell into a coma. Maybe she would have been spared if mother and I were not involved. She dared to call the Alpha's beloved a bitch. The fact that father called the Alphas, Lunas and Gamers of the other Packs means the matter won't be taken lightly. Jason couldn't sit comfortably where he was seated.

"I told you she won't have a good end" Miguel whispered, feeling unfazed. People like her don't deserve a good end. I admit.

"Today, you all are present here to witness a very crucial matter, but before I proceed..." He mind-linked the guards, they came in and dropped Umberto roughly at the door. I looked at her, but couldn't figure out what was different about her. She crawled into the Courtroom at a snail's pace.

"This woman seated beside me is not just my mate, she is your Luna and my backbone, and Umberto dared to dishonor her!" Father was becoming hot under the collar. Everyone went quiet as the courtroom's temperature grew hot.

"Aside from that, you made my children unconscious. Days crawled into weeks, weeks to months. You should be grateful to the moon goddess, she woke them back to life" he let off the steam.

"This will serve as a deterrent to others who dishonor their Lunas" he minded linked the guards, and they held her harshly.

"Be delicate with her, she is with a child" Miguel said slowly, but they heard him. All eyes drifted to Miguel and me.

"Help me brother" he mind-linked me. That's what I noticed was different about her.

"Yes, father, she is pregnant" there was a little commotion in the hall as I confirmed the word.
