Once the wondrous afterglow of their egglaying faded away
Elisa, Angela, and Demona moved to stand before the clan, towering over all of
them. The children looked at them, curious, while the elder males shoved aside
the sudden need to mate with the once again fertile females. The three alphas
looked over their clan and shared smiles with each other, loving the feeling of
power that came from being the center of attention.
“A new day has dawned,” Elisa said, taking the lead. “We’ve
all changed… no longer cursed to become stone during the day, our bodies remade
stronger, a world of possibilities has opened up for us. It is time though to
put aside the past, both what happened before the Great Sleep and what we were
only days before.”
Demona nodded. “What matters is the Clan. We have allowed so many things to get
in the way of what needs to be done. Petty desires and past hurts and outdated
honor that no longer works for the age we live in and the circumstances we find
ourselves in.”
The males murmured at that but Angela stood up tall and proud, address them
before they could even think of questioning the alphas. “The Clan has changed!
With Elisa transformed into the being she should have always been and my mother
forgiven for her sins we can now lead our Clan as it should have always been:
by the law of the Alpha Females!”
Elisa smirked. “We can not hope to change this world while
our clan remains small. We must make it grow, strength it, so that only then
can we truly our true position on this planet.”
Demona, Elisa, and Angela shared a secret smile as the elder
males murmured to themselves. The three, during their destruction of the
castle, had come to a decision. They knew that Goliath and the rest believed
they spoke of protecting humans but the alphas merely let them believe that.
No, the three females now had but a single loyalty: the Clan. The rest of the
world would fall into one of three categories: those that were enemies to be
slaughtered, those that were no better than cattle, and those chosen few who
would join Fox in helping expand their ranks. The three females knew there
would be pushback but also knew that, as time went on and Goliath and the rest
became more used to this new way they would grow to trust the alphas… and
someday soon forget everything about protecting the humans and the honor of
old.
All that mattered was the Clan.
