The Alphas Little Magical Luna

I couldn’t do anything. I just watched the flames dance high in the night sky. We were given a choice. Die or stand aside and join them. Many would call us witches, but we are nothing like them. We don’t use incantations. We are connected to magic on a different level than the witches they think we are. I was not surprised when wolves attacked our village. We lived as normal humans for so long that we almost forgot about the supernatural world. By the looks of these guys, I would say they are slave traders since the ones who are not killing and burning our houses have started to put chains on us who have chosen to live. This is also not surprising. I also forgot that the supernatural world would pay top coin for a witch. If they knew that we are not just as they say we are, they might have sold us for many more. I heard Melia, a.k.a Amelia Kosj Suaco, my best friend made a strange noise. Well, for me it is normal since I knew her since I could remember. She is born deaf. I turned my head to her. “What is going to happen to us?” She signed, and I looked at the guys putting the chains on us. “I think we are going to be sold.” I signed back at her and I could see the horror on her face. I can not blame her for acting like this. She has an affinity for wind but she never could use any of her magic yet. She can do little things with her wind magic. Apparently, her progress is normal. I am the only one who turned out to be a protege for having an affinity to all kinds of magic and being able to use it well since I discovered my magic at the age of 2. I can only remember my life from age 4 and onwards. It is normal for a human to start remembering things. “Calm down. I will try and get them to sell us together. That way we are not alone.” I signed at her and she seemed to have calmed down, nodding at me. “Hi.” the guy putting chains on us finally reached me, and I turned my head to him. “Hi.” I replied, and he gave me a big smile. “You sure are beautiful. You are so lucky. We all would have had our way with you, but since the guy who bought all of you are going to kill us if any harm is done, we will keep our hands off you,” he said with a bit of lust in his voice. His lustful eyes are causing me to become nauseous. There is no way in hell that I will allow any of them to put their hands on my body. The thought is causing me to get a bit angry, but I have to keep calm. Since I am connected to my magic in a way that can not be explained I need to stay calm and keep my emotions in check at all times. This can be very tiring for me at the end of the day. “Lucky us,” is all I can manage to say at the moment. He just chuckled and moved on. I made sure he did nothing to Melia too. She may be deaf, but she can read lips too. She showed me a thumbs-up when the guy was further along. I nodded at her and looked ahead of me again. The lifeless bodies of our comrades should make me want to cry, but I can’t do it right now. I can hurt the ones that are standing with me. They caught us all off guard. And if I wanted to attack, I would have killed everybody here. Our teacher begged me not to respond to this and just do as they told us. She tried to run, hoping that some of us could get away, but that did not work. They killed her before she got very far. I can feel the tears in my eyes threatening to come out. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath in, and calmed myself. I shouldn’t let my heart feel any of these things. Not yet anyway. We got loaded on wagons being pulled by wolves. They are shifters. They are bigger than the biggest wild wolves, the grey wolves. Just like many others, I zoned out. I did not want to feel anything right now. I lost track of time and where we were taken. I only came to my senses again when Melia touched me. I snapped out of my state and looked at her. She pointed to something and I followed her finger. We arrived at a checkpoint. There are four men in guardlike uniforms checking papers. “Checkpoint. I don’t recognize their uniforms,” I signed at her and she looked concerned. “Are they werewolves too?” She signed back and I looked at them again. Well, now that I am focusing on them better. I can see an extra spirit around them in the shape of a wolf. I nodded at her. She nodded too, letting me know she understood me. So, she picked up on the wolves pulling the wagons too. She may be different, but she isn’t as dumb as many think she is. The wagons got to move again and I looked at the guards as we passed them. They looked at each of us. I can see their eyes looking at us all as we moved past them. Wonder what they were looking at. Some of us are whispering to each other. Mostly the younger girls. Thinking the guys are hot. Urg, I am probably abnormal in that category. I have no interest in loving someone anytime soon. Suddenly a howl caught our attention and we all looked in the direction it came. On a high cliff, overlooking everything. I think everything can be seen from there. On the cliff, a wolf as big as a house with two heads is standing on it. I have never seen anything like this before. The eyes are glowing. Both heads have heterochromia iridium. The head on the left has a green glowing right eye and a yellow glowing left eye. The head on the right has it the other way. Strange and yet beautiful too. Unique. I can not take my eyes off the beast. It howls again before turning around and walking away. No, I want to look at it more! “Put the magic blockers on them. Quickly!” My attention was pulled back to what was happening around us at this moment. It was an older woman giving the order. Teenagers, about my age, came forward with bracelets. They moved as quickly as they could to get it on everyone. I felt it getting to work immediately. This will not last for me. My magic will eventually break this thing. The bracelet is braided with leather. Plain and yet I can see myself wearing something like this as a fashion statement. Why leather though? Wouldn’t silver work better? Or is it because werewolves the myth of werewolves getting burned by silver is true? If that is the case why not use gold? As we got off, our chains got removed. I saw the chests of gold coins were then loaded in our places. Just as I thought. We were sold. “Come on, move quickly. Stand in a line. We need to take your names,” the lady spoke again and we all did as we were told. Why wouldn’t we listen? This is a strange place and we were just kidnapped, taken from the life we once knew. “Name?” The lady asked Melia and naturally, Melia began the sign. I popped my head out behind her to look at what she was signing. “Amelia Kosj Suaco.” I translated for the lady and she suddenly looked at me shocked. “What was that she just showed me?” She asked, and I made eye contact with her, naturally, my eyes made her take a step back. My eyes are the color of the rainbow. Starting with red at my pupils, going through the colors of the rainbow, and stopping at violet on the edges. “She is deaf. She is using sign language to communicate.” I explained and I could see the concern on the lady’s face. I am not surprised that others don’t know about sign language. There aren’t many deaf people in the world. “And you understand her?” She sounded unsure. “Yes, she is my best friend.” I replied calmly. “We will make sure to keep you two together then. Affinity?” The lady went on. Melia signed it for her. “Wind.” I translated once again. “She can read lips too,” I added and the lady seems to relax a bit. “Okay, what is your name?” The lady looked at me next. "Vorel Anon Arcaniss. And I have an affinity for everything.” I see no use in hiding this from them. They will know eventually and helping me learn control will be very helpful. “I am struggling with control. Just wanted you to know,” I added and I could see the shock on her face and those around her. “How?” She asked and I pulled my shoulders up. I don’t know that. I can not answer something I do not know. “I see.” she wrote it down before looking at the girl next to her. “Martha will be taking you to your room,” she pointed at a girl who was standing next to her. She has long brown curly hair and emerald green eyes. She smiled brightly at us. “Follow me.” she is a bit too cheery for my taste. We were just sold. I took Melia’s hand so that she can know that we are walking now. Martha is going on about how nice our lives are going to be from now on. What? Do they think our life was bad before? I am not in the mood to correct her on this tonight. “What was that on the cliff when we got here?” I had to ask and I even signed it, so that Melia can know what we are talking about. “Oh, that was our alpha.” Martha sounded excited about that. I signed it for Melia too. “So, we are in a werewolf pack now?” I asked while signing. “Yes, you are now officially part of the Royal Pack. The biggest werewolf pack in the world is controlled by the Alpha Kings,” Martha replied and I signed it. “Alpha Kings? As in Pural?” I had to know. “Yes, they are twins.” Martha nodded happily. Twins? And they are both kings? Alphas of this pack? How does that work? How can a pack have two alphas? This is going to be very interesting.
