I watched Dad wear his three piece pinstriped suit. He shrugged on his coat like an armour and blowed a kiss to mum. Then he walked out the door. There was a limo just outside the Alpha’s house too. They were going out. Probably to an important meeting, seeing the way Dad was dressed. He hopped into the limo with the Alpha, my uncle Jamie and the limo sped off.
It was a good thing they were both gone. I wouldn’t have to sneak as carefully as when they were around.
I waited a bit after dinner. The 30 minutes seemed like eternity. As soon as the clock hit 8.30pm, I got my jacket and ran out the door.
“Be back before 9.”
I heard Mum yell from the kitchen.
“Okay...” I yelled back, not stopping or even slowing.
I ducked behind some bushes as some Men walked pass. They were on Patrol duty. I didn’t even know why I hid, I could have easily waved at them. But I stayed hidden till they were well past.
Then I ran nonstop all the way to the oak tree by the edge of the woods. My ears were pounding by the time i got to the tree. I sat on a root stump and tried to slow my breathing because I was panting.
My breath was still rugged and unstable when I heard a twig break and felt it land on my arm. I jumped a foot from where a stood and watched. Everywhere became quiet, too quiet but i knew I was not alone. There was someone else here.
I crept slowly back under the tree and stared up, from where I suspected the twig to have broken from... and I stared right into the gleaming eyes of my cousin.
“JAKE!!” I whispered furiously. I used my hands to cover my eyes as if he would disappear when I opened them.
He leapt down from the branch above my head and stood before me, a mischievous grin on his face.
“You followed me here, didn’t you?” I accused, pointing a finger in his chest.
“Nope.” He face was still set in that smug smile. “I waited for you here. I’ve been here for the past one hour. I was beginning to wonder if you two had changed plans.”
“You are going to spoil my first ever time alone with Lily.” I groaned in frustration and pulled at my hair.
“Don’t worry, Jas. I’m going to stay well out of sight. She won’t know I’m here.”
“You seem to be forgetting that she’s a werewolf... like you. She’d scent you out in a second. And boy, you stink.” I said pinching my nose with my fingers.
He sniffed his armpits and laughed. “I sure do. I’ll just head home and wash up. I’ll be back for the show between you two.”
“You don’t have to go, now that you are here.”
He gave me a skeptical look and tilted his head.
“I’m serious, Jake. The both of us can tell her the story. It’ll make it more interesting, then I’ll walk her home... Alone.” I made sure to put emphasis on the word ‘Alone’. To make sure to grabbed the meaning and stated clear.
“Thank you.” He plopped down beside me, and now that I think of it, he didn’t really want to go. He just wanted me to tell him to stay.
“She should be here by now.” I said nervously. I was nervous. I didn’t even know how to kiss. I got up and started pacing forward and backwards.
“Relax Jason. She’d be here soon.” Jake said, doodling something on the sand with his fingers.
Suddenly, the air beside me seemed to swirl. I had seen something like that before, when Jake had gone to drop our shirts in a wrong direction to clear the way for us into the pack territory some days ago.
The air swirled and seemed like liquid and then strangely, a gray robed leg stuck out, followed by a body. Five more gray robed figures stepped out.
The one I presumed to be the leader, removed his hood and I saw his pointed ears. He was Fey.
“Step back, Jason.” Jake growled behind me. “These are not ordinary Feys. They are the watchers. I’ve heard my Dad talk about them.”
I haven’t heard my Dad talk about about but I’ve read enough about them to let me know that The Watchers are a dangerous subspecies of Feys. They had access to a deeper reach of magic, even more than the Fey King.
I tried to move back but i could not move my leg muscles.
They’ve enchanted you. My Cat sang in my head.
I heard Jake grunt and realized that he also was under the same spell.
“Let us go!” I said through clenched teeth.
“Relax Jason. There’s no need to be hostile. My name is Alyssé.” The lead Fey stepped forward.
“Let us go!” I repeated, like he hadn’t heard me the first time.
“Oh, I will.” He said in a bored, nonchalant way. “As soon as we’re done with the both of you.” With that he waved his fingers and another portal opened. He stepped through and we followed. Our limbs were still stiff but we floated, by another of his spells.
As we entered the portal, I felt a clench in my chest and a pressure building in my head. It felt like my head wanted to burst. I wasn’t sure if it was my voice screaming or if it was Jake by my side that as doing the scream and just when I thought I was going to die, it all stopped.
Everywhere was dark

I WAS AWOKEN by the harsh Ray of sunshine coming from the window. I glinted and squinted as i sat up. The fireplace was off. The wood had all burnt off.The main sitting room was buzzing with activity. People were coming and going, I heard Jake’s voice talking with someone.I turned and yawned and saw he was talking with Gibson. I grimaced as I remembered that this huge man was Dad’s replacement. I heard the door open and the sounds of footsteps as the boys – Billy, Matt and Zach – bounded in.They made a beeline to where I laid down and stood over me.I struggled and sat up. I groaned as I felt a crick in my lower back.I looked at their faces and went a little sad at how incomplete they seemed.We all missed Arthur and Jeff.“I should wash up.” I said, rubbing my eyes.The nodded.I walked and headed up to Jake’s room to use his bathroom.I was half expecting to see Elsa. I could really do with her smile this morning.I rushed to the bathroom to do my stuffs, while in the bathroom I

I RUSHED NEXT door to the Alpha house and went on to find Jake.“They are in the study.” Elsa said as I walked in, as if she knew exactly who I was looking for.I headed to the study and walked in and realized why Elsa had said “they". I found him in the study with Alpha Jaja, Alpha Preston, Mum and aunt Charlotte.The heads turned to look at me as I burst in. I prepared to turn back but thought better of it so I stood my ground.I raised my hand and pointed with my thumb to the back. “Is he supposed to be here?” i walked into the room.“Who is that?” Alpha Jaja asked, pushing back his chair and standing up.We heard the door open and the sound of walking stick tapping the floorboard as footsteps approached.The pale figure of Henri filled the door as Henri came up and looked around the room. His eyes lingered on me before he moved on to Jake.“I came to pay my last respect. Your father was a good man and a strong Alpha.” He said and turned and walked away before any of us could say a

SHE PULLED ME up with ease. I searched her eyes for any knowledge that I was banished and the reason behind it.I did not find any. Just the warm brown familiar eyes of and her wide smile. She was really happy to see me.“How have you been?” She asked, pulling me into a tight hug.My arms wrapped around her waist and I inhaled the nice fragrance from her hair. We stayed in the hug for some seconds before she pulled back and I noticed a squat figure just behind her.“Oh, this is Grem.” She said. “He’s a dwarf.”I looked closely at this strange creature, barely reaching up to my knees with large feet and hands and big black eyes too.“We have them at the pack now. Not as slaves, though. Of course not.” She said, laughing. “More like an exchange of relationship, we offer them food and shelter and protection and they run the chores of the pack. Like cooking and cleaning.”I made the appropriate noise to that because she nodded and continued. “Dad wanted to offer them money too, you know.
Chapter 76
A THICK SILENCE filled the air at the cabin. The fire still burned outside but not on its own now. It cackled loudly and the pungent odour of burning human flesh hung heavy in the air. Clyde was seated at a couch opposite Rosetta. Roland was standing in a dark corner, his ankles were crossed and arms folded.Henri stood near the window in his regular pose – one hand in his pocket and the other, holding his stick. But this time, he held the stick at the middle, the head of the stick was hooked to the curtain, drawing it back and opened slightly so there was a thin slice of moonlight casted over his features.Sofia came in from casting a burning spell on Tom’s body, her hands were tucked inside her robes. Clyde turned to her. She gave a brief nod and then settled herself down on the chair in front of the fireplace.“You have been staring at that too much, lately.” Henri pointed, letting go of the curtain and gesturing with the hand holding his stick towards the fire.Sofia nodded.It mi

THE BURIAL OF an alpha is not small affair. Claude had been the longest lasting and once best friend of Jamie, so he was consulted as to what Jamie would have wanted.And Claude said what Jamie had told him years ago. Many many years ago.Jamie wanted his body cremated and half of his ashes buried in the cemetery, but he wanted his son, Jake to spray the other half of his Ash into a flowing river.At least even in death, he would still have the chance to explore.That evening, Jamie’s body was cremated just before the burial procession started.Zhao and Alyssé stood by a corner. Alpha Jaja had arrived a few hours ago with his wife. His eyes were red rimmed. He had been crying.The whole pack was dressed in black. Drakys III and Faerie were seated at a table, constantly consorting with each other.The grand magus was also at the burial. But all these guest were detached. They were mainly here out of a sense of duty and respect for the dead man.Only Preston and other invited werewolves

MY MIND WAS in a turmoil. Mum left yesterday, or was it two days ago?I lost track of time.Then Dad was called too. He left last night.And that was how I ended up alone in America. I planned on staying in my dorm for the major part of the day. But I had to go to campus in the morning, I had a major lecture.I entered the lecture hall distractedly, my hood was pulled over my head as I settled down.I should call Jake, I said to myself. I should offer my condolences. Mum had sent me the news that my uncle was dead. Jake would be the alpha now.I randomly remembered a time when we were 9 and Jake had held my hand, saying I would be his right hand when he became alpha.It had seemed like a faraway dream as at that time.Now, it felt like another life.Another reality, but a reality nonetheless.I shook my head and brought out my laptop, and then I perceived it.I looked up sharply and caught the glint of the sun on that ginger coloured hair.She was sitting a few rows in front of me.
