"Alpha Wayne ran into the scene before we could clean up, Alpha." A man reported to his Alpha. "I'm afraid he got it all wrong and might think we are up for war." he continued.
He was answered by a vicious growl clearly dismising him and he didn't think twice before walking out in order not to further agitate the raging beast
...
Who am I?
I am the white beast that appears during the red moon. Eyes lifeless, dark and hollow, fangs sharp as razors, claws curved as they tear through flesh and my fur covered in blood of those that I have slain!
It is a fact about myself that I accepted, a truth I couldn't fight and a fate written even before my birth. I always thought it was unfair to subject me to a punishment that wasn't mine, to make me pay for a crime I didn't commit, as innocent as I was...they all shanned me away when I wanted to be saved.
I never wanted to die and have no one to cry for me or care but rather they'd rather jubilate my demise but I never got that either, all I received was pain...pain encased in my bones, to my core and every living fibre in me.
They fear what they see, what they made themselves believe I am. No one wished to know what lay burried behind this mask of Terror.
........
I had lost control to my beast again and caused disastrous outcomes by slaying a whole herd of buffaloes. Had it been the old me, I'd be crying in the dark and feeling remorseful about my actions...but that me died, killing never bothered me, I lived by what they labelled me, I infused terror into their souls and it gave my heart content. I was finally showing them what they saw in me.
Blood sated mine and my beasts soul!
We carved it like air hence we searched for blood at all costs. I was on a conquest to put the Lycan kind under one rule....the rule of terror. Where the strong ruled, I wanted my word to be law. My word is LAW!
The most annoying thing was how hard it was to get out of this beast body, I needed to take control. He loved to showcase his ugly frame but I was way too bored with his pride games.
"When are we meeting with Wayne again? I wanna take him down and avenge myself!" my wolf Malik grumbled and I could only roll eyes at him and his antics. "It's not going to change the fact that he beat you!" I taunted.
You should be thankful that I saved us at that time or we'd be dead now and you wouldn't get to taste this glory!" he roared in my head justifying himself.
I'm not judging you or anything! You did what you had to and I'm thankful for that...but now I have pack business to attend to and I'm not going out looking like this!" I explained slowly trying my best not to get into a fight with him. Had it been the red moon, I'd be murdering my own pack members because I agitated him.
You see, we are of the werewolf descent but the wolf spirits in is choos us, not is choosing them. Normally born Alphas shift at the age of sixteen when they've had proper training on how to control their spirit beasts which makes it easier to live in harmony with them or be able to take control when desired.
Me on the other hand had to go under a very painful process where my beast spirit had to forcefully tear from within my body to keep us safe.'
Fine!" Malik grumbled and I felt the fur sink back in leaving me with my pale white skin. I love my skin!
Alpha, may I come in?!" I heard my Beta speak from the door and answered him. Heust have thought I was still failing to get out of my beast and he was bringing the pack business to my room. He was so considerate and that's one of the reasons I dared to lean on him in tough times.
Oh, you seem ok!" he said with a smile to which I nodded and grinned at him.
They are already crying for having to clean up after the mess you created." He joked and my grin fell. If only they knew...they'd be the ones to pay the price for my rampage, they'd never whine about cleaning up after me!
"Which other pack are we going to visit?" I asked getting down to business. I had been taking over various packs and those that put up resistance got their own share of me. I had been doing so discreetly despite my wolf wanting to gloat about his achievements but I had to make him see the bigger picture. Though we were strategically located in the mountains and attacks on is would be futile, the mountains didn't hold enough food to sustain us if all the other packs chose to gang up aganist us. That's why I had to find more lands for my pack and help them get incorporated into other packs. Birth rates had gone down due to no interactions with other packs which could ensure my pack meeting with their mates so despite my own selfish reasons, I still wanted what was good for my pack.
As you already know, we have four more packs to go and the Wayne pack is one of them." My Beta Kade said.
Wayne shall go last." I smirked at the thought of how he'll look when he has no one to run too when I take him down and own his pack.
But that leaves us with only ten days to take down three strong packs!" Jade said appalled. It was a first so it was understandable.
Jist follow the normal drill, ask nicely and if they refuse, kill their Alpha, Beta and Gamma then we take over simple!" I said with a shrug. What was so hard about that?'
"You are asking a Beta to challenge three Alphas in ten days?" he asked perplexed.
"Should I go?" I raised a brow at him tilting my head to the side. Malik was dancing to be set free but nahhh, I wasn't going to let him. He is too destructive.
"I'll go!" Jade gave up with a tired sigh.
You wanna be the supreme Beta, you must know how to tackle Alphas. Simple as that!" I shrugged with a laugh when I saw how he shuddered. Alphas were indeed no joke!
We went about discussing more pack issues till dawn and I had to resign and rest. I never slept during the night because there was nothing but nightmares and bad memories but the day, there were those beautiful eyes that always looked back at me and I longed to sneak a peek at them everytime I went to sleep.
They were so blue, so vibrant, they held a light of their own and madly drew me in. I don't know why I dreamt of them but they were the only thing that assured me that life and the world weren't so bad.
Slowly, I drifted off to sleep with high hopes!
But, I never met them andy.mood was sour as soon as I woke up. I walked up to the balcony and stood to overlook the snow carpet lands, no green, such an eyesore. I zoomed in on the few pups in our pack as they played around in the snow under the watch of their parents and a few pack warriors I had allocated to safe guard them. Though I knew no one could dare launch an attack this far into the mountains, it was better to be safe than sorry.
The light warmth from the sun sunk into my skin as I breathed in the cool air. I'm alive! But why?
I really wanted to know because truth is I didn't. I always thought it was my revenge but no, that was a secondary reason.
I looked back at the pups and saw how their moms and dads cared for them. Would I get to feel something like that? It looked warm, so warm that it beat the sun by multitudes.
The sun warmed the skin but never the soul.
Lots of love from litto-ways ❤️
Today I listened to the song, At my worst by Pink Sweat. I felt it correlated with Terror's situation.
I initially planned to make you guys hate him from the start then later justify his actions..🤣 but then I thought, why?
