My Silver Alpha
Chapter 29

Lucian was returning to the land where he lived, his whole body bathed in his own b***d. He walked to a small stream, not deep, more like a puddle but the water was clean. He knelt down in the mud and in front of it, cradling his hands he took some water, then he began to clean his body removing all the dried b***d.

-Damn Eren, you’ve made me a mess. He mumbles cleaning the most damaged part of his body, his ear was almost shredded. -I need to feed to regain my strength.

He hits the ground with his clenched fist. He was too weak to take on that bastard Eren by himself. Even with the help of his boys he couldn’t weaken him. He needs Bardas as soon as possible.

-You’ll pay for that, boy. You’ll see, when I have the power I need, you, your people and that appetizing human will pay for everything.

He lies down on the ground, he didn’t have the strength to walk to the abandoned hut where he lived. He needed to get some sleep and then think about where to get more humans to make them his slaves. Lucian closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

He walked through the town as everyone moved aside. They were all crowded together in a tight circle, impossible to get through without pushing through the crowd. They made their way to this crowd of people pushing and shoving to get through. He heard murmurs coming from everywhere, but they didn’t say anything clearly so he paid no attention to them.

Moving deeper into the circle he finally reached the centre of the commotion and realised what was going on. On the floor lay the body of a woman, in her chest there was a large hole in which a very important organ was missing (her heart) the young wolf stared at the body of the woman, who was a young wolf of the pack.

-What happened to her? They whispered behind her back.

• Lucian! That voice the boy heard.

Suddenly Lucian opened his eyes with a start, he sat up and realized where the hell he was. He was still in the mud, he stood up but thinking about that dream he had had, what did it mean, whose voice was it, why did it sound familiar, but there was also that she-wolf, what the hell had happened to her? He wondered if it was just a dream, or a product of some memory from his life.

He couldn’t know, since Lucian had woken up in those lands as a pup with absolutely no memory of anything. By the time he opened his eyes he was completely naked and with many wounds on his small body. Without understanding what the hell had happened to him, he set out to explore the recently abandoned lands. Since there were no people to help him clarify his doubts, the young man wandered for days in those grounds feeding himself. He was practically becoming a savage.

Eventually he realised that no one would show up to rescue him, so he decided to leave his comfort zone and wander further away from where he was. The young man noticed that wherever he went there were small roads that led to villages full of people, he didn’t know why but he didn’t dare to go to any of those places. He did not feel at all comfortable, but staying in those lands was pleasant and since no one bothered to look for him, he opted to stay even though he was a child who did not remember anything except his name.

But it didn’t take him long to discover something surprising, his astonishment was so great that the boy took refuge in a small hut, scared to death. In one of his many adventures he realised that those humans could turn into huge wolves, the boy thought that they would eat him if they discovered him wandering alone in those desolate lands… but it was not like that, over the weeks Lucian experienced an extraordinary change in his body. As the boy was threatened by a bear who cornered him and was ready to tear his body apart, Lucian transformed himself into a wolf as he had seen with the other people. He realised that he was also one of them.

After that the boy understood that he was not a normal person, that he was very strong just being a boy. And from then on hunting for him became a game and training. But that still didn’t solve the fact that he didn’t remember anything about why he woke up alone in that place… The years went by and Lucian discovered more and more prodigious things about himself, like hiding his essence from his enemies. He could stay close without them perceiving his presence, it was a point in his favour.

As an adult wolf he knew every alpha in every neighbouring pack. He deduced that where he was was also the territory of a pack that no longer existed. He always wondered if he had belonged to it, or one of the surrounding packs. But as he had grown up only that ceased to interest him and he became ruthless to any being that moved.

The sound of snapping branches brought Lucian out of his disturbed musings, as he turned he realised that one of his surviving wolves was approaching him. The man smiles and strokes the wolf’s ear.

-You’ve done well boy, you’ve been the strongest of us all. You will go with me everywhere. He tells him, going back to the hut to look for some clothes. -But first I need you to find a white wolf for me, I need to feed. Go! he orders.

The animal runs off in one direction while Lucian continues on his way to what he calls home. Soon his strength and energy would be renewed, he just needed to feed… leaving the hut after a few minutes, Lucian sees his boy approaching in a hurry.

Lucian was hiding behind the stem of a huge tree as he kept a close eye on a beautiful albino she-wolf drinking water from some kind of stream. He sharpened his gaze knowing that she was unaware of his presence, and judging by how alone she was, she had everything to gain. No one would disturb him as he went about his business. At that the she-wolf perked her ears as if trying to hear something, he doubted it was his presence.

He watched her turn around a little cautiously, apparently suspecting that something wasn’t right… and it wasn’t that far from the truth. When Lucian saw the woman walking away, he had no choice but to appear on the scene.

-Where are you going, beautiful? he asked with a smile on his lips.

-Who are you? The girl growls at him, shaking her snout.

-Someone who needs something from you.

-You’ve been looking in the wrong place, you idiot. The she-wolf growls even more.

Lucian grins mischievously, that’s what a strong, brave heart needed. And that she-wolf had one, even if it was only to regain her strength. Then it was when she turned her body into a huge wolf, gaining in size to the woman, so much was her imposing that she could only crouch her ears. And that was his moment to attack.

He ran towards her noticing a spark of fear in her… but when he attacked her, the she-wolf defended herself by bringing out her powerful teeth and biting her neck. She was tough!
