Chapter: Fight or Flight... It truly was the manifestation of rejection's Ire and desire's flame as Nightfall fell under a dark cloud. Darrian's reign of terror had begun to truly manifest. Pack members suspected of treason, harbouring rogues or anything that did not go according to Darrian’s regime, vanished without a trace and were replaced by Darrian's loyalists. Fear and suspicion choked the once vibrant pack. Those who had fallen for his smooth speech of wanting to protect what was theirs, now wondered if perhaps they had made the wrong choice, but they couldn't air out these suspicions, not if they wanted to go missing. Meanwhile, Isadora languished in her gilded cage, for she was nothing more than a caged wolf, waiting for her master to choose her fate. The luxurious room felt like a prison, the bars forged from Darrian's cruelty. Regina, his ever-present shadow, taunted Isadora with tales of Eutychus' "weakness" and the impending glory of Darrian's new era. She had always hated Isadora and given their p

Chapter: End or Begining ...Alaric couldn't take his eyes off the baby in his arms. As soon as his daughter was placed in his arms, he had become a new person, no. The moment he heard her cry, something in him changed. The risks he was willing to take to protect his Pack were nothing compared to the absolution and conviction to protect his daughter. There was literally nothing he couldnt do for her and that thought scared him. He went back to the conversation he had with Kierran and realized that if anyone or anything threatened his little girl, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do to ensure her safety. Nothing at all. “What will you name her?” Dianne whispered, too tired from the whole birth ordeal, for a second there, Alaric was scared she wouldn't be able to pull through. “Asa, that is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard her scream. Pick her second name. ” Alaric said, moving closer to Dianne so she could be closer to their pup. “ Wilde…. Asa Wilde. Because she will be the one to heal us all”

Chapter: Birth of the future...Alaric paced restlessly along the Genesis border, the whimper from a suffering wolf a constant thorn in his side. He focused, pushing his senses further, the fragmented images that returned painting a horrifying picture. Someone was calling out to him. Suddenly, Kierran burst into the clearing, his face pale and etched with worry. "Alpha, we have some news… bad news." Alaric's heart plummeted. His mind raced to Dianne, his mate, and their unborn child. Had something happened to them?"What is it, Kierran?" Alaric's voice was a low growl as he started walking towards his home. “Fuck! ”Kierran took a deep breath. “It's Nightfall, Alpha. Darrian… he's overthrown Eutychus and their Luna … she's been captured.”A wave of anger crashed over Alaric. The ambition that burned within Darrian had always been a threat, but this blatant betrayal transcended Pack politics. It threatened the fragile peace between Genesis and Nightfall, a peace Alaric had strived so hard to maintain.But amidst the

Chapter: Sleeping BeautyIsadora awoke to a suffocating darkness. Panic clawed at her throat as she realized her eyes were bound with a rough cloth. Disoriented and bound to the bed, she tried to piece together the fragmented memories of her day meeting with Genesis Pack Luna. She tried releasing her claws in a half shift, anything that would assist her in setting herself free from the bindings and blindfolds. A sharp laugh sliced through the silence. "Finally awake, Sleeping Beauty?" The voice, laced with venomous amusement, sent a shiver down Isadora's spine.The blindfold muffled her vision, but she could sense someone approaching. "Who's there?" she demanded, her voice trembling slightly."Oh, don't worry, Luna," a voice dripping with sarcasm replied. "It's just Regina, here to welcome you to your new… accommodations as per Alpha Darrian’s request of course." Isadora's breath hitched. Regina, a constant thorn in her side. What did she have to do with this? She felt Regina approach, and seconds later the

Chapter: Betrayal in the PackThings in Nightfall were changing slowly under everyone's nose rather, people couldn't tell the shift in power within their pack. One night, the pack's enforcers were doing their regular patrols along the pack borders and the next, they were surrounding the Alpha’s residence, no one could tell whether it was for protection or assault. Another group of enforcers surrounded the council hall, with all the important members of the pack in it. “What is the meaning of this, Darrian, care to explain why was- ” an elder, angry and almost red in the face spat but he was pushed back to his chair forcefully. “I don't recall asking you to speak. '' Darrian sneered at the elder as he moved up to the Alpha’s designated seat, taking his time to look at the shocked faces of those in attendance. Once satisfied, he pulled out a wad of papers from his suitcase with the Alpha's seal. He put the items on top of the conference table and yet again let his eyes wander around the room. “Ladies and gentlem

Chapter: Power and control... “Did he admit? ” Dianne asked Alaric when the nightfall Luna had left. “Yes and no. Darrian claims that he did it under Eutychus’ orders. I didn’t believe him. My Half brother may be arrogant but never this stupid. Something is off.” Alaric said he couldn't shake off the daunting feeling he felt when they were in the office with Darrian. He was impressed with how Kieran had managed to keep his emotions in check and hadn't jumped on Darrian as soon as he walked through the Pack borders. “So where do we stand? You know I will support you through whatever you choose.” Dianne said, standing up to stretch a little. “It will depend on how they take my message from today's meeting. This isn't really about the assets my mother left me. It's more of control and power. Eutychus feels threatened, and I am not about to sit and let him think he can walk all over us.” Alaric said. “Oh I just wish they would try us… it's been a minute since I-” Kierran stopped himself from finishing the sentence
