The Rise of an Alpha Were-Jaguar

THE FULL MOON period lasted 2 to 3 days depending on the time of the year. It was the only time the wolves were free to wander about and howl to their content and satisfaction.The wolves of London were evolved and civilised, so some human children ran side by side with their wolf friends during some nights. They would run through the woods, chase rabbits. Then they would find themselves to the knob of a hill and with the alpha starting, all the other wolves would howl loud and long. Nose pointed to the moon and tail flat on the floor. The human children who had ran with their werewolf friends would stay back at the foot of the hill – for the hill was sacred grounds for the wolves – and shiver. Maybe because of the cold. Maybe because of the long, low soul-wrenching howl that all the wolves made into a melodic unity. The human children would cluster together and wonder why the lycan gene had skipped them. Even if they had werewolves parents. Even if their siblings had the lycan gene

"DO YOU KNOW what this is?” Arthur asked, dropping a flower on Jake's desk. I scooted my chair over and stretched my neck to see the flower properly. It was a strange one. I didn’t recognize it. It was yellow with a little greenish hue at the tips of each petals. Jake’s face was blank. Other boys from our class gathered around too. “It’s not yet Valentine’s day, Arthur... and we’re not gay. Take away your flower.” Mart, the class jester, yelled. We all burst out laughing, Arthur’s face turned red as he grabbed the flower and shook it in our faces. “Have any of you seen this before?” Our joy mellowed as we saw how angry he was. “It’s a morteaux flower, fools.” He continued, his voice was high. Morteaux, I had heard of the flower somewhere... Morteaux!!I was the first to grasp it. “B-but it doesn’t grow in our territory” I said, stammering a little bit.Arthur’s face changed from anger to triumph now that we were taking him a lot more serious. “it doesn’t grow around us.” He sai

THERE WERE A group of creatures whose jobs are to study the world’s population. They constantly watch the ripple of life for a new sign of life. They knew the exact number of Vampires, Werewolves and all other creatures. They knew when a new human has been turned into a Vampire. They know when a new wolf has been born. They are a special group of Feys, specially chosen and trained to perform this hectic task efficiently. Each new magical creature starts a ripple in the life crystal. Only Feys with trained eyes can detect the ripple of a wolf from that of a Centaur or an Elf, so when a new ripple started out, they weren’t so surprised until they studied it more. This was not one of a Vampire or an Elf, neither was it one of any other creature of mistake like a giant or dwarf. It was very much like that of a Werecat but not exactly.A new kitten hasn’t been born in over a century, The other species saw to that by killing of 99% of the Cats population. They looked at the ripple once

Elder Vampires. The original Vampires. Shit! “They’re WHAT?! How the hell did you know that?” I said, my breath catching in my throat as we stumbled forward. “How the hell did i know what?” Jake asked beside me, he thought I was talking to him.“Not you... the crazy cat in my head.” I replied. “Answer me.” We have memories, you fool. Long term memories that can be passed through generations. It’s not something I can explain. “They’re elder Vampires. Apparently, they can walk under the sun.” I told Jake what I just knew. “I’ve read about them somewhere... I think.” “We have to cross the stream. Come on.” I pulled him into the water as we sloshed our way through. “You know, there might be a brigde up ahead. Or some hopping stones.” I ignored him. We were already knee deep in water and still going deeper but the stream was not so wide. “Hurry up!” I said, holding my bag above my head. “You know... now that I think of it, it might not have been a Vampire.” “What?!”We both tur

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
