The Human Alpha

The Gamble Game

Guilt and fear was now eating him from within, Alen did not know what he had gotten himself into and the only way to protect himself was by hiding, he ran into hiding in the animals shade the moment he heard a knock on the door, shivering and his heart beating so fast, a drop of sweat drops on the pig next to him and now the pig raises its head.

"Shhhh!' he tries calming him down, still shaking and hoping they would leave without noticing him.

On the other side was Zeus, he now thinks he is really dumb enough to hide in the closet, perhaps that would be the first place the guards will look when they get in the room, suddenly the door opens and he uses the space left by the two door of the closet to try and peep, he sees one guard walking in and looking around, he goes to the bed and lifts the beddings up, walks around, now heading towards the closet where Zeus was hiding, his whistle becomes loud as he approaches the closet, he opens both doors and looks in, nothing to see there, he closes and goes ahead. Zeus heart was beating heavily, luck seemed to be his second gift, the guard could not spot him, thanks to Alen big black coat that he used while doing his stupid night missions and it did a really good job covering him.

"Well it seems this house is clean mum" Stefan says to Alen's mum.

"Of course it is, I told you my children are always home" she says to Stephan with a broad smile on her face and Stefan thinks for a minute while looking at her and realizes he has not seen these children he keeps talking about.

"You say your children are always here mum yet I haven't seen any of them, do you know what it cost lying to the authority mum" Stefan says and his voice had now changed into a harsh one.

"Uhh ohh, my bad, Anaaaa! Anaaa! She must be somewhere in the backyard, they must be feeding the pigs you know" she tries calling out for them while heading to the back.

"Wait mum, it's not a thing, I trust you, let's go boys!" he says to her and they leave the house. Alen's mum goes on calling out for them and heads to the backyard, the guards were really missing a lot and they just left what they were in search for in some very dangerous hands.

"Why would you lock yourself in here Alen? Are you out of your goddam mind!!!!" she opens the door and sees Alen feeding the pigs.

"It's nothing mum, I was just feeding the pigs, what's the big deal?" he answers pretending he had no idea the guards were at their house.

"You have been feeding those pigs for ages mister, make it quick" she says as she walked back into the house. Alen drops the bucket and jumps to the perimeter wall surrounding their home and looks at the far end, he sees the guards knocking at some door away from their home and smiled to himself knowing they got nothing from his room. He jumps back and goes to the house, he slowly gets in creeping not to create any attention, his mum now in the kitchen. The front door suddenly opens and he freezes.

"What are you doing?" hiss dad asks him.

"Nothing" he answers back reluctantly and he was a very bad liar, his father was a harsh one and could not stand any unusual traits in his house and of course he was the kind of a reptile breed, very hostile, he had passed this traits to his children and the entire family had this supernatural gift and improved ability just like the reptiles, they were all superfast and strong unlike any other human being except for their mum. His dad looks at him from head to toe with his reptilian eyes and knows this son of his was up to something.

"Go ahead then" he says to him and he slowly leaves the living room.

"Honey am home!!!" he shouts to his wife who was in the kitchen while walking to the kitchen. Alen stays for a minute trying to hear whatever they were about to say.

"I swear something is up with that boy.." his dad goes ahead talking to his mum even though he could hardly hear his words.

"I knew my instincts were right" his mum answered.

"Did we have a visitor?" he overhears his dad asking.

"Yeah, some guards were here, looking for something that was stolen from the castle they are walking from house to house, I wonder why they chose to start from ours, you haven't heard of anything at all in the market?" Alen mum answers and asks her husband.

"No, that's some new news, I met a young man on my way here, thought he was from this house" he says as he picks some grapes and chews them. Alen hears this and does not seem to get it at all, his mind suddenly switches to the Tranquin, he quickly runs to his room and straight to his closet where he had hidden it, he throws everything aside carelessly trying to find it, he starts panting heavily and now the worst part comes when he doesn't find it, holding his head with both hands, he knew something was up, he looks at his window and realizes it was open, he goes and looks outside.

"Ooooh nooo nooo nooo!!" he says and hits the wall with his fist, a crack is visible at the wall from the impact.

"Oh my God! Ana!" he says to himself and knew she is the one who must have taken it.

"Stupid girl, I am going to kill her this time" he says as he slams his door and walks out looking for his annoying sister, he was really pissed of this time.
