Lahat ng Kabanata ng I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

After our conversation with Alpha Jo, Zaza and I decided to visit my mother. It had been too long since I last saw her, and I needed to know she was safe. The journey to my parent’s house was filled with nervous anticipation. When we finally arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and open arms. "Ava, my child," she said, pulling me into a tight embrace. "I've missed you so much." "I've missed you too, Mother," I replied, my voice thick with emotion. Zaza stood nearby, giving us space but smiling softly at the reunion. We spent some time catching up, my mother filling me in on the latest news from the town and her own struggles since my banishment. Despite the hardships, she remained resilient, a trait I admired deeply. I told her about my recent adventures, carefull

As the twilight cast a dim glow over the room, I gathered the twelve around the wooden table. The tension in the air was noticeable as we discussed our next move. Each of our faces bore the marks of our recent battles, our eyes hardened by the countless struggles we had faced together.“We need to decide whether to confront this so-called ‘Beast of the Bandits’ or not,” I began, my voice steady but filled with the gravity of the situation. “There’s a chance this could be a trap, designed to lure us into the open and eliminate us.”Karim leaned forward, his expression serious. “Ava, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. It feels too convenient. The way the bandits have been operating, their coordination, I truly think it is a trap, it’s like they’ve been waiting for us. If we go out there, we might be walking straight into their hands.”Zaza added, “They want you dead, Ava. You’re the only thing standing between them and total control. If the beast kills you, they’ll have free rein over

I sat in a corner of my room wondering what to do next. Leaving my parents and my clan is a big call. But on the other hand, if I don't do that, I have General Masa to contend with. The night was quiet, a deceptive calm. I was sitting by the window, lost in thought, when the door to my room burst open. Zaza rushed in, her face was wearing a mask of anxiety and worry.I looked at her with concern as she took big, deep breaths to calm herself. “Ava,” she gasped, struggling to catch her breath. “The Beast of Bandits is in the Town Square. He’s challenging you openly.”I stood up immediately, my heart pounding. “What? Why haven’t the guards arrested him?”“Maria and the guards are there,” Zaza replied, her voice filled with frustration and disbelief. “But no arrest has been made. They’re just standing there, watching.”“Why? This is our opportunity to strike the Beast down.” Has it turned or is it still in human form?” I asked.Zaza understood why and was disappointed as she answered me”

Alpha Jo stormed into the room, his face a storm of anger and confusion. I had been expecting a confrontation, but not one this intense. He slammed the door behind him, the sound echoing through the room like a thunderclap. "Ava," he shouted, his voice barely containing his rage. "I just spoke with Maria. She told me everything. She says you've been fabricating lies about her." I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "Jo, I told you the truth. Maria has been conspiring with the Bandits. We've got evidence - -" "Evidence?" he cut me off, his eyes blazing. "Maria says you planted that evidence to turn me against her. She says you've been manipulating me from the start!" I could hardly believe what I was hearing. "How

Chifo, my cousin, came sprinting towards my mother and me, I could clearly see the panic written on his face. His breath came in uneven  gasps, and his eyes were wide with fear.  "Ava! The bandits... they're attacking Downtown! They're burning huts and killing people!" he shouted, his voice cracking with urgency. My heart pounded in my chest as the reality of his words sank in. The strongest fighters of the Omega clan, including my father, were in the forest searching for Zaza. Downtown was vulnerable. "Chifo, listen to me carefully," I said, gripping his shoulders to steady him. "You need to get everyone who is still alive to rally at my father's place. It's the most fortified location we have right now. Go, and be quick about it!"
