"There" Alpha Darren dropped his phone on the other sofa.
He had his right leg crossed over his left. The anger on his face seemed to get even more with every single passing second. The fact that she had dared to even try running away after what she had done.His men had tried searching for her in her home which they had quickly figured out but it was discovered that she did not come back home.Yeah, Darren knew it would be stupid of her to go home but he was expecting her to be at least that stupid to make things easier for him. He could not wait to lay his hands on that woman.Lucy's father was in front of him, on his knees and Darren recognized him quite well. Her father was the head of a guard department until the last year when he had let his security be breached and Darren had been 'kind' enough to chop off just one of his fingers because Lucy's father had been working for him for long."Your life is in the hands of your daughter now. Take a look at the clock. Once it's four hours and she is not back here, you'd be dead"Everyone knew he was not joking and his words made the older man on his knees shiver.He had heard about what just daughter had done and he knew how much trouble he and his daughter was going to be in if the Alpha was not pacified but then what did he have to pacify the Alpha with.*Lucy panicked as she finished reading the message."We... We have to go back home" her words came out in a stutter."What? What message was that?" Madeline asked, wondering why they suddenly had to go back home."Alpha Darren... He... He is with my father. He is going to kill him if I don't get to him in four hours"Madeline's eyes widened, she did not have to ask if it was a joke because it was clear it wasn't and she did not have to question herself about Alpha Darren being serious or not, she knew he was damn serious with whatever words he said."Let's... Let's go" she had no time to scold Lucy yet again for bringing them into this much trouble.Even if she did not like the Alpha at all, rejecting him in public was her biggest mistake.The both of them pulled themselves up and rushed out of the house."Sorry, Granny but we have to leave" Madeline announced."What? Why? What's going on?" The old lady asked but the two ladies only took turns kissing her cheeks and waving her a quick bye before running out without giving a response to her questions.The next morning would inform the old lady about it as her neighbors would spread the news to her.Both Lucy and Madeline scurried into the car and drove and Madeline drove this time around. She could not let the all shaky Lucy drive.Lucy lowered her head as she regretted her actions even more. She had just put her father's life in danger because she wanted to kind of get back at the Alpha and do away with him also. Now, she only wished that she had the powers to travel back in time and hide throughout the party and remain unseen by him absolutely.Her fingers played with each other as she tried to bring some calm to herself but it was just impossible for her to get to the point of calm.Her palms had gone sweaty and her foot was tapping on the floor of the car repeatedly."C'mon, Madeline, drive faster. Time is going" She urged Madeline.It was a sure thing that they would get back before the four hours elapsed. The drive was only a drive of about an hour and thirty minutes but they were only about twenty minutes into the drive when the car jerked to a halt."Wh... What just happened?" Lucy demanded to know."Goodness! I think we ran out of fuel" she gasped in response."Good heavens!" Lucy brought out her phone and checked the time.She alighted from the car and looked around. They were in the middle of nowhere and it was obvious they would not be able to get a refill of the fuel tank anywhere.The place was far too desolate with only talk bushes around them but Lucy was in the urgent need to get to the Alpha that she had rejected."I... I can't wait" she shook her head."I guess I'd have to run there" she mumbled."Alright then, let's do this" Madeline also alighted from the car. She knew her strength was inferior but she was willing to go with her best friend.The both of them dropped the few things they had on them in the car and locked the car up before shifting into their wolf form. Lucy's wolf had a color similar to white but it wasn't the pure white color, her tail was strangely black in sharp contrast to her body fur.Madeline's wolf was a little similar to that of Lucy except that she didn't have the black tail that Lucy had.The both of them sprinted away, with Lucy going a lot more faster than Madeline. It wasn't just her strength that was making her go faster but also the pounding in her chest.If she failed to be there in the stipulated time, her father would be killed. She was scared of that and would do anything to prevent the last family she had from dying.*"Well, well, there is an hour left" Darren shrugged his shoulders.He was still on his seat and Lucy's father was still on his knees."I guess your life would be coming to an end tonight" He added and the older man quickly lowered his head to ask for mercy but at that moment, the one they had been waiting for barged into the place.Lucy was still in her wolf form as she jumped into the living room of the Alpha and shifted into her human form, quickly getting on her knees, naked.Darren's frown turned even deeper as she got on her knees."You...""Raise your head up""I do not dare raise my head up, Alpha" her voice was shaky with heavy breathing."Do not dare? But you dared to do that?!" He lost control and growled out his words but the next second, he took a deep breath and relaxed."I am sorry Alpha Darren. I was stupid to have rejected you in front of everyone. Please pardon me and let go of my father" she pleaded. She could do anything to make sure that her father was not hurt."Unfortunately for you, pardon is not a thing I usually do" his voice was laced with venom."Please have mercy, Alpha Darren" she raised her head up slightly to look at him."Point the gun to his head" Darren ordered and per his order, the beta placed the gun right at the head of Lucy's father.Her heart skipped several more beats and her eyes quickly watered up."I am here!" She almost screamed."I did it! I humiliated you stupidly! Please... Please punish me and not him" she pleaded with quick tears filling up her eyes.She looked at her father who was clearly terrified by the gun on his forehead after all it had been placed there with the orders of the Alpha.Darren pulled towards the edge of the chair and grabbed her face, a bit roughly."I didn't say I wouldn't punish you too. He is just going to take the punishment for not training you well" he muttered with blazing eyes."He did..." Her voice cracked with tears."He did train me well but... But I am too disobedient. Please let him go" more tears flooded her eyes as she pleaded with him.Darren could absolutely not tell what it was but he knew the sight of her in tears was not what he really wanted to see.He let go of her cheeks."I'd be graceful just this one time" he pulled back and sat again, in his majestic way."Thank you... Thank you, Alpha Darren" she thanked him profusely."On one condition"Those words made her stop and gulp. She wiped her tears away from her quickly becoming damped face."I.. I'll do anything, Alpha Darren""I'll give you the one chance to correct your mistake. You'd tell the people when the sun rises that your stupid words were only because you were shy and counted yourself totally unworthy of a great man like me"Lucy nodded her head in absolute willingness to do what he wanted her to do."That's not all. You will have to become my bride, my Luna"Her eyes widened.How could he still want her after what she had done to him? But it was more about her, she did not want him at all and her mouth was way too sharp to recognize the situation that she was in."But I do not want you, Alpha Darren" the words slipped out of her mouth.Darren's eyes blazed with anger and hatred. He was giving her a chance to amend her stupidity and she still had the guts to speak up."Take the gun back to his head" he growled out."Don't, please" she immediately begged him."I... The words just slipped out of my mouth. Please spare my father" she pleaded."Accept my kindness and I will let your father live"Lucy slowly looked back at her father, the innocent man did nothing to be in the situation that he was in right now. She had brought this trouble upon herself and her father with her mouth."As you wish, Alpha Darren. I.... I accept your kindness"Lucy was still on her knees, sobbing as she begged alpha Darren to release her father. "Please let go of him," she cried out, "I'll do whatever you want me to." Her words came out in between gasps and sobs.Darren stared down at the young luna before him with a stern expression on his face."Are you sure about it this time around?" he replied slowly, crossing his arms over his chest in contemplation."Yes!" Lucy exclaimed eagerly, desperate for any chance to save her father's life. She lifted herself off the ground and looked up imploringly into Darren's eyes."Very good then. It is time for us to take our leave," Alpha Darren said as he stood up, beckoning his trusted entourage of pack guards to follow him.Lucy heaved a small sigh of relief from the back of the dimly lit living room where Alpha and his group had gathered around her briefly. She felt uncomfortable in their presence, especially that of the alpha's - whose gleaming eyes remained fixed on hers throughout their discourse
Next day…“I need you to prepare an interview for my obstinate mate. Every member of the pack has to be present for this interview,” alpha Darren instructed his Beta.“When should I set the interview ?” Beta Carlos asked him.“Tomorrow’s night, she will need to prepare a nice speech for tomorrow else she might try to walk away in fear and shyness like the last time,” he lied, knowing fully well that she had run from the mating ceremony because she didn’t want to be his mate and not because she was scared of shy.“Your wish is my command,” his beta said, bowing down. He waited to be dismissed by Darren before he left to carry out the instruction given to him.Darren stood up from his throne and headed for his inner chamber.Walking into the room, he found Lucy by the foot of the bed, looking out of the window.She was unarguably a beauty to behold, only her side facial features got Darren to stand at a place and admire her.With her cozy red hair, full lips, sharp eyes and pointed nose
The entire pack had gathered around to witness the interview between the Luna Wolf, Lucy, and alpha Darren. The reason for this interview was because Lucy had rejected alpha Darren as her mate, which was known by everyone.Alpha Darren stood in front of Lucy, towering over her slightly in his alpha stance. "Lucy, why did you reject me as your mate? Is there something wrong with me?" he asked in a stern voice.Lucy's fur bristled slightly as she nervously looked up at the alpha. "N-no, alpha Darren. It's not that at all. It's just that I was shy and a bit timid," she replied, shaking with fear as she lied.The other wolves murmured among themselves at Lucy's response. It wasn't often that a Luna Wolf would reject an alpha, let alone give such a reason for it.Alpha Darren seemed satisfied by Lucy's response. He stepped forward, his nose almost touching hers. "Lucy, you do know that as alpha, I can protect and provide for you, right?" he asked, his voice a soft growl.Lucy hesitated bef
Lucy woke up and found herself lying on the bed.“How did I get into this room?” She wondered. The only thing she could remember was being forcefully dragged to the woods and getting tied up by Darren.Meanwhile last night after Darren had tried to torture her, he looked at her and for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to do anything to her. As much as he hates her, something in him warned him against hurting her. He immediately used his wolf abilities to get her into a trance, then he used that opportunity to carry her back into the room.**In between her thoughts as to how she got into the room, Darren walked out of the bedroom, his body dripping wet with water. She drooled over his body without even knowing it.Darren had this charming look and sexy body, which had great effect on anyone, no matter their home training.He turned to her and noticed that she was staring at him, even though he couldn’t fathom what was going on in her mind.“Why fantasize over my body, when you
Alpha Darren walked back into the room, looking very disoriented. He had been struggling to keep control over his wolf. He had noticed how hungry his wolf always went whenever he was around Lucy, but this time around the hunger was really strong, he could feel his wolf's desire for her growing stronger. He knew he had to keep his distance, but he couldn't help the pull he felt toward her. She was now his mate and he needed her more than ever with the ever ending demand from his pack members. He couldn’t keep her away from but he also feared being around her would cost him his authority as the alpha.Soon after Alpha Darren had left her in the bathroom, she came out and he noticed Lucy had a wound on her arm. “When did you get that?” He asked in a strong tone. She said nothing to him, still angry at what he did in the bathroom.“Did you intentionally hurt yourself?” He asked with a mocking expression.She looked at him and hissed. “I would prefer to be dead than leave with you.”
It had been a sunny day when Lucy found herself strolling through the garden of the Pack House. She had been avoiding Alpha Darren since the incident of him trying to mate with her. Although she knew that it was part of the wolf pack tradition, she couldn't bring herself to accept it after the discomfort she had felt.As she made her way through the orchids, she caught sight of Alpha Darren approaching her from a distance. She tried to walk faster, but his voice stopped her in her tracks."Lucy, I need to talk to you." Alpha Darren said, catching up with her.She looked at him but did not say anything. She couldn't coherently piece out her feelings in words, and the memory of that night flashed before her eyes. She remembered the way his fangs had nearly grazed her skin, and the musky scent of his breath. It made her shudder."I know that you've been avoiding me since the other night, but I need to have you do something," Alpha Darren continued, this time his voice was softer than
Cassandra was her childhood enemy. They grew up in the same pack, attended the same school, and were both interested in combat training but Cassandra's competitive nature always seemed to be a thorn in Lucy's side.Since their collision in the training ground, Cassandra had been looking for ways to sabotage Lucy. She would frame her, mock her in front of others, and always try to showcase her strength, making Lucy feel inferior.Over the next few days, Cassandra's behavior became even more devious. On one particular day, during a sparring match, while Lucy was practicing her punches, she felt a sudden push from behind her. Before she could react, she fell into a nearby antique vase, smashing it to pieces. "Lucy, watch out!" Cassandra exclaimed, shoving Lucy forward into an antique vase. The vase wobbled dangerously for a moment before crashing to the ground, breaking into a million pieces. Cassandra quickly rushed to Lucy's side, pretending to help her up."Oh my gosh, are you okay?
On the other hand, Darren was still feeling guilty, he remembered how he had reprimanded Lucy in front of everyone, and he knew that it was not a smart move. That day something deep inside him whispered that he should go back and check on her, but he shook his head and walked away, telling himself that it was for her own good.As he walked out of the deserted pack house, he couldn't get the sound of Lucy's sobs out of his head. He knew he needed something to distract himself, and he decided that a run would be the perfect thing to clear his head. He sprinted through the woods, feeling the cool air rush over his skin as he started to jog.He had only gone a few meters into the woods when he saw a little girl crying at the other side. She was holding her knee, which was scraped and bleeding. Alpha Darren's instincts kicked in, and he ran over to her."Hi there," he said gently. "Are you okay?"The little girl sniffled and nodded. "My bike's broken," she muttered through her tears.Al
"Lina! Come back here, your father will not be happy to see you running around like this. Remember that you almost had an accident yesterday." Her mother shouted to her.Lina turned around and shouted back. "Common mother sheam not a kid anymore, for crying out loud sheam twenty and I can take care here of myself. Go back, I'll return as soon as the sun begins to set."Lucy would have loved to let her go but she was given strict rules by Darren to never let Lina out of her sight. She could not understand why Darren treated his daughter like a prisoner."Lina please for my sake just come back, else your father is going to be angry at you and I.""I am sorry mother but those words can not deceive me anymore. You are too old for Dad to scold you..She was still talking when she suddenly fell into a ditch.Lucy had no idea of what had happened to Lina because she was far away from her and she had a terrible eye problem.She shouted a few words to Lina but she did not get any reply from he
Two years had passed since the birth of their first child, and Darren found himself in the open fields with his young son. The little boy's name was Ethan, a name that held a special meaning to Darren and Lucy. It was a sunny day, with a gentle breeze rustling through the trees, as father and son embarked on a special lesson.Darren stood tall, his strong presence emanating confidence and love. He held a bow and arrow in his hands, patiently teaching Ethan the art of archery. With each step, Darren explained the importance of focus, discipline, and respect for the weapon they held.Ethan, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement, eagerly listened to his father's guidance. He held a small bow, specially crafted for his size, and a quiver filled with harmless arrows. Darren's voice was gentle yet firm, as he demonstrated the proper stance and technique to his young apprentice."Remember, Ethan," Darren said, his voice filled with pride, "archery is not just about hitting the target
Inside the delivery room, Lucy lay on the bed, a mix of fear and anticipation coursing through her veins. She clung to the hope that everything would be alright for both her and the baby. The medical team worked tirelessly, utilizing their expertise and skill to navigate the complications and ensure the best possible outcome.Lucy closed her eyes and took deep breaths, trying to remain as calm as possible amidst the whirlwind of emotions. She focused on the love she felt for her baby, sending positive thoughts and energy into the universe.As the moments turned into hours, Darren paced back and forth outside the delivery room, his worry refusing to subside. Each passing second felt like an eternity, and he yearned for any sign of good news.Finally, the door swung open, and the doctor stepped out, their face beaming with relief. Darren's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly approached the doctor, eager for an update."Darren, we have good news," the doctor said, their voice filled w
Lucy felt incredibly happy and fulfilled during her pregnancy. It was a time of great joy and wonder for her. She had never imagined that she could experience such happiness after the terrible incident when she was stabbed. It was like a miracle to her, a second chance at life. As her belly grew round with the growing baby inside, she felt a deep sense of gratitude and awe. Every movement, every kick from the baby filled her with immense joy. It was as if a part of her that was lost had been restored, and she couldn't help but smile at the little life blossoming within her.The journey of pregnancy was not without its challenges, of course. There were moments of discomfort and tiredness, but even in those moments, Lucy found solace in knowing that she was carrying a precious gift. She cherished every milestone, from the first fluttering of tiny feet to the gentle hiccups that made her laugh. It was a constant reminder of the miracle of life and the beauty of creation.Lucy often found
As the sun cast its warm golden rays across the tranquil landscape, Lucy stood near the window, her hand gently caressing the gentle swell of her belly. Life had come full circle, and she marveled at the miracle growing within her. A tiny, precious life that was a testament to the love she shared with Darren.It had been a journey of joy and discovery, filled with laughter and tender moments. Lucy's heart overflowed with gratitude for the happiness that had unfolded in her life. The challenges they had faced had only strengthened their bond, deepening their love and forging an unbreakable connection.Maddie's mischievous giggles echoed through the room, interrupting Lucy's reverie. The twins, a testament to Maddie's unwavering love, tugged at her sleeve, seeking attention. Maddie playfully shooed them away, ensuring that Lucy had a moment of tranquility.With a smile, Maddie retreated, leaving Lucy and Darren alone in their private sanctuary. Darren entered the room, his eyes filled w
Lucy, now fully awake and aware, smiled weakly at the doctor. "Thank you for your care, but it seems I am more than healthy. The moonstone has granted me its blessings, and I am eternally grateful."The doctor nodded, his voice filled with reverence. "Truly, this is a remarkable turn of events. The moonstone's power is beyond anything I have ever witnessed. It has bestowed upon you a gift of extraordinary healing."As the news of Lucy's miraculous recovery spread throughout the pack, a sense of hope and renewed faith permeated the air. Pack members approached her one by one, their expressions a mix of relief and joy, offering words of congratulations and gratitude for her restored well-being.Darren stood by Lucy's side, his heart overflowing with love and gratitude. "You are a beacon of strength, my Luna," he whispered, his voice filled with awe. "The moonstone has chosen you, and with its power, we shall protect our pack and each other."Lucy's eyes shimmered with a renewed determin
The battlefield trembled under the weight of their relentless clash, the air thick with the scent of blood and the echoes of battle cries. Alpha Stanley and Alpha Darren locked in a fierce combat, their movements a symphony of strength and skill. Stanley, fueled by his thirst for power, launched a series of swift attacks, his eyes burning with a twisted determination. Darren, fueled by his love for Lucy and the desire to protect his pack, parried each blow with calculated precision.But in the midst of their intense struggle, a sudden and piercing pain shot through Darren's body, causing him to falter for a split second. He staggered backward, his eyes widening in disbelief. A sense of foreboding washed over him, a feeling that something had gone horribly wrong. Instinctively, he knew that Lucy was in danger.With a desperate surge of adrenaline, Darren fought his way through the chaos of the battlefield, his heart pounding in his chest. Panic gripped him as he scanned the scene, his
As the moon reached its zenith, casting an ethereal glow over the pack's gathering grounds, Stanley stood tall upon a makeshift podium. His gaze swept over the assembled warriors, their eyes gleaming with fierce determination. The air crackled with anticipation, charged by the imminent clash of forces. He raised his hand, signaling for silence, and the clamor gradually subsided, leaving a palpable tension in its wake."My loyal warriors!" Stanley's voice boomed, resonating through the night air. "The time has come for us to claim what is rightfully ours. Alpha Darren and his pack have defied us for far too long. Their reign ends tonight!"A chorus of fierce roars erupted from the crowd, the collective voice of an army poised for battle. The warriors, their bodies rippling with power and their eyes burning with a thirst for victory, eagerly awaited their Alpha's command."We will strike with unmatched force and unwavering resolve," Stanley continued, his voice commanding attention. "To
Entering her dimly lit room, Sharon's mind still grappling with the weight of the mission assigned to her, she was taken aback to find Kelila waiting there, her weathered face etched with lines of wisdom and concern. The room felt heavy with the weight of their secrets and the impending doom that seemed to loom over them.Her heart jumped because of how scared she looked."Kelila, what are you doing here?" Sharon asked, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and curiosity. "I thought you had left the meeting. Is something the matter?"Kelila sighed, her gaze intense as she locked eyes with Sharon. "Sharon, there is much we need to discuss. Sit down, my child."Sharon hesitated for a moment before taking a seat, her heart pounding with anticipation. There was something about Kelila's tone that indicated this conversation held grave importance."I have seen visions, Sharon," Kelila began, her voice steady but laced with a sense of urgency. "Visions of a great darkness that will descend
