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
Alpha Darren had gone back to the pack to apologize to Lucy but he didn’t find her in her room. He walked out, probably to search for her around the pack. He hoped she would give him a chance to apologize and make it up to her.As he was heading towards the spar training camp, Cassandra bumped into him.“Good day alpha Darren,” she greeted, with a courteous bow.“How are you?” He asked, with a worried look on his face.“I am good,” she replied. “You seem worried, is there a problem?” She added.“I am looking for Lucy,” he briefly answered.“After the day you had scolded her, she seemed to get herself a new friend. They are always in the garden, I think you should go and look for her there,” she lied.Cassandra knew exactly where to find Lucy because she had sent her there herself l. She claimed that Lucy had made a new friend and that they always hung out in the garden. He was taken aback. He couldn't believe what Cassandra had just told him. She was having a side affair with anothe
The guards stood at attention, watching as Alpha Darren stormed back into the pack in a fit of rage. His mate, Luna Lucy, had betrayed him, and he was not happy about it. He called for the guards, demanding that they find the man who had dared to touch what was rightfully his. He could never let that man go unpunished."Find him," Darren growled, his eyes blazing with fury. "I want him dead, do not spare his life. Make sure he gets a slow but painful death,” he added with anger and authority.The guards nodded their heads in understanding and left.Minutes later the pack guards rushed in, and then one of them spoke up. "Alpha, we have searched the surrounding area, but there is no sign of him. He must have fled farther away."Darren growled in frustration. "How could he have escaped so easily?" he demanded. "This man has to pay for what he's done."Carlos his beta nervously cleared his throat. Then opened his mouth to speak "Alpha, forgive me for asking, but why are you so angry? He o
Cassandra became determined to make Lucy fall and step down from being the Luna. She had warned Lucy the other day that this life was tough, and she had to be tough to fight the obstacles.“Hey, have you heard what's going on with our Luna?” She asked one of the slaves who was sitting alone.“No, is something wrong?” She asked as she began to pay attention to Cassandra.“Nothing is wrong with her, but she is doing something wrong,” she said, sitting with her.“I'm all ears,” the slave said, looking impatient.“One thing! You have to promise me you tell the truth about this to anyone you come across,” she said as she held her hands.“But won't this seem like rebellion? I do not want the Alpha to behead me,” the slave said, with fear in her eyes.“No, it could be otherwise. She did something really wrong and should be given a heavy sentence,” Cassandra smirked, assuring the slave that there was no problem.“The Luna is sleeping around with men even as if she is mated to the Alpha,” Cass
Madeline's heart began to beat fast as she stopped in her tracks. She was scared, as she didn't know what to do or say to get her out of trouble. The man who she met earlier wasn't around here, and she didn't know how to call him to help her. Although, he had asked her to make sure she wasn't caught. She looked back and hoped they won't find anything wrong with her.“Yes?” She replied, with her eyes looking down.“It's not you, I'm calling the maid at the other side,” he said without looking at her.Madeline felt a sense of relief rush through her body. She felt so happy that she wasn't caught, then she looked back and started walking towards the direction that had been given to her. After a few minutes, Maddie was finding it hard to locate Lucy's room, and she was forced to ask an older maid who was sitting on a pavement alone.“Hello, sorry to disturb you. I'm new here, can you give me the directions to Luc… The Luna's room,” she said, correcting her mistake before the maid would
Alpha Darren stood flanked by his men.They were updating him about the new men they had admitted into training.“Let me see them” He said, and they nodded, and they made for the training grounds.“ Why's the number a bit on the low side?” He asked, wondering why the recruits seemed fewer.His men looked at their feet.Darren looked at them.They couldn't find an explanation for it, he would have raised an issue about it, but he decided not to.“And how is the training going?” He asked as he looked over the men sparring with each other.“Alpha Darren” Cassandra greeted with a bow.“Cassandra” he replied.l curtly.“ I believe you've come to watch how the training goes?” She asked with a smile.“No, I've come to spar” he said with finality in his words, knowing she might want to put up a little protest about how inexperienced they must be. And that was precisely what she did.“But Alpha, Darren, they're… They're still inexperienced” Cassandra said because she couldn't understand how an
"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.

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

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.

The battlefield trembled under the weight of their relentless clash, the air thick with the scent of blood and the echoes of battle cries.

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.

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.
