Finding the Alpha

"So you know him then?" she asked. "He's my archnemesis."

"How many archnemeses do you have?" "A lot of them Kris. More than I can count."

"You think you can find him and make him reverse this?" She asked desperately. Achilles looked at her quietly. "What?" she asked again.

"I don't think even he can reverse this," he said. "Why not?" "Cos it's not possible. You already know this."

She looked down. "So then what was the point of all this digging into my trauma?" she asked annoyed. "I know this is hard but u have to get over it soon. Tonight is the waning Gibbous, also-"

"What the fuck is that?!" She cut him off. He sighed. "If you let me finish, you'll know," he said. She only looked at him without saying a word.

"The waning Gibbous, also known as the second full moon. You're gonna go berserk again but this time, with less power because the moon is not full."

She stared at him stupefied.

"I know what you're gonna ask. "Why don't I go berserk on the waxing Gibbous as well?" Well that's because the waxing Gibbous is before the full moon, the waning Gibbous is after," he explained. "I wasn't even thinking about that but that makes sense. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Does that mean I'm gonna get chained up again?" she asked. He stepped forward with a glint of worry in his eyes. "Yes love but you don't have to worry. This one is less strong so you'll be fine."

She carefully brushed his chest as she remembered the wounds she inflicted.

"Don't let me hurt you again ok?" she said. "Don't worry. I won't put myself through that again cos you were vicious."

A chuckle echoed in the room. "Just as vicious as you are in bed." He laughed at her words. "We haven't done it in the bed yet," he said. "Well, how about we change that right now."

"Are you serious?" "I want you inside me right now," she whispered, sitting on the bed and opening her robe slowly. "You're playing a dangerous game baby girl." He said all the while staring at her exposed body.

"Fuck me, daddy," she whispered again and bit her lips seductively. He wasn't one to waste time so he quickly pounced on her.

*Chains clanking*

"Achilles asked you to do this?" Kristen asked as her hands were being chained up in front of her. "Yes, he did." He replied. He let go of the chains and looked at her.

"Well, where is he?"

"He stepped out for a while but don't worry, he'll be back." He turned around and walked away from her.

"Myles wait!" She spoke making him stop in his tracks. He turned around, clearly annoyed at her.

"I know you don't like me that much but please don't leave me alone until Achilles comes back."

"I don't like you at all!" he yelled at her. "And I'm, definitely, not your babysitter so if you're afraid of being alone in the dark, you better suck it up cos you're not getting princess treatment from me alright!" He yelled at her, extremely irritated.

She was on the verge of tears. She's always been afraid of the dark even though she's an adult.

"It's ok sweetheart, I'm here now."

They both turned around and saw Achilles standing there. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. Myles on the other hand frowned. "Took you long enough!" Myles gritted. Achilles approached her. He cupped her face and said softly, "I'm not gonna leave you in the dark ok?" She nodded with a wide grin on her face. He kissed her forehead.

"Now you," He turned around and faced his brother. "How about you be nicer to her."

"Why should I be nice?" Myles spoke back. "First of all, don't talk to me in that tone, and second, because I said so." "That's not a valid reason-"

"Well then take it as a valid reason!" Achilles lost his patience and raised his voice. Myles looked at him, still frowning.

"And fix your face. You don't wanna get wrinkles."

Myles stormed out, mumbling something to himself.

"What was that brother?" Achilles asked. "Nothing!"

Achilles turned and smiled at her. "It's gonna be fine." "Is it though?" she asked. "Yes. Just trust me ok." She nodded. "But please don't yell at your brother because of me. I don't want to be the reason you two fight." She reasoned out. "He's a bratty teenager, he needs to be yelled at." She only looked at him. He flashed her his killer smile, telling her not to worry.

The moon was rising, slowly. Achilles sat down on the concrete floor next to her.

"What do you think is gonna happen?" she asked. He looked at her with lazy eyes. "You're going to turn like last time, but you have a higher chance of controlling it cos the moon is not full." He explained again. "So you mean I'll be able to control it?"

"I wouldn't say that. You have zero experience and I'm not your alpha so I can't guide you in any way."

"But you're a god, Achilles. How do you not know anything about this?" "That's because Lykaon Lycans are our enemies. We aren't taught anything positive about them. Only the negatives so I don't know much about them and Helix, is a fucking pain in the neck."

"So Helix is my alpha right?" she asked. "Yes, he is."

"I think I wanna go find him."

Immediately those words escaped from her mouth, his head whipped toward her.

"You wanna what?" he asked with wide eyes. "Is it bad that I want to?" She was worried that what she said was stupid.

"Heck yes! You can't be associated with them while you're associated with me. If people find that out, they'll talk." "So you're thinking about what people will say about you?" She asked.

"I'm their future king so yeah, I am thinking about what they'll say."

"But he's my alpha. He's the only one who can help me." She said in a higher register. "Why didn't you run to him then? huh? Why'd you come to me?!" He yelled at her.

She looked at him with a blank expression.
