That night, under the cover of darkness, Sharon seized the opportunity presented by Lucy's absence. She cautiously approached Darren's room, her heart pounding in her chest. As she entered the room, she found him sitting on the edge of the bed, deep in thought. “Hey,” she muttered, drawing him out of his thoughts.Darren turned to her looking quite surprised to see her inside his room. “Is everything okay?” He asked, noticing her fright look.“No, I heard a terrible dream,” she informed him.With tears in her eyes, she said to him, “I had a terrible nightmare and I feel shaken to the core.”“Tell me what the dream was all about. Do not be scared,” he said to her, trying to ease her fright.She moved closer and sat down by his side. “I do not want to talk about it Darren. The dream was so bad,” she lied her way through, while slowly pressing her body to him.“At least you know that it was just a dream. Nothing is going to happen to you inside this pack, everywhere is safe and this bo
Lucy was having so much fun with Maddie. She poured her heart out to her within a little amount of time. She really loved it so much. "The dream I had yesterday was so crazy," she blurted out to Maddie, earning a weird, questioning look from her. "Seriously?" Maddie asked, moving closer to Lucy. She was suddenly interested in anything she has to say. "Yes, it was really weird!" Lucy exclaimed and Maddie continued fixing her eyes on her, questions swirling in them. Lucy wasn't saying anything after that, and it was hurting Maddie. Because, she really wanted to be given every detail of it. "I need the details, Lucy. What was the dream about?" Maddie said, unable to keep it in anymore. Lucy stared at her, a smile dancing on her lips. She really loved seeing Maddie that way. She stopped what she was doing and focused her full attention on Maddie. "So, the dream was..." Lucy was interrupted by a knock on the door. Maddie and Lucy exchanged a look, before Maddie stood up to open th
"So, now. Tell me what the issue is." Carlos slowly said Lucy, lifting her head from his chest. Lucy sniffed noisily and backed away from him. "No, it's fine. You don't have to worry." She said and started walking away from him. Carlos ran after her, asking her the same question. Lucy didn't say anything. She was still trying to keep her tears in and she knew that if she had started talking again, she would have started another round of crying. "Carlos," she suddenly called out, halting before him. She raised her head and plastered a smile that didn't reach her eyes on her lips. "I'm fine, I promise. I just need to go to the visitor's room, for now. I need to clear my head. Sharon can have Darren if she wants." With that, she walked away, her eyes fixed on the nelty space in front of her. Okay, she didn't actually mean to spill out the last part. It just came out and unfortunately, she couldn't take her words back. Carlos washed after her, taking a bag from her shoulder. He f
"Lucy, Lucy!" He called out, waiting for an answer. He didn't get any. Instead of knocking, he moved backwards and started kicking the door. After the first kick, Lucy suddenly jolted from the bed, trying to figure out where the nose was coming from. A second later, she realized that it was from the door, so she dashed towards it. She knocked it to inform the person at the other side of the door that she was awake and she was about to open the door. Thankfully, Carlos heard it, so he stopped and breathed out in relief. Lucy was alive, she didn't kill herself. Lucy slowly twisted the key in the keyhole and opened the door, to find a slightly sweaty Carlos staring back at her. "Is everything fine?" She asked in concern. Carlos gulped a little, before saying, "yes. I actually thought you were dead." He said jokingly, and Lucy gave him a small smile, shaking at him. He was unbelievable. "So, why are you here? Is...Darren around?" She slowly asked, staring out of the door. Carlo
After Darren concluded the hearing with the verdict, everything was over, but the court wasn't dismissed immediately. He went back to his seat and sat down without looking back at Lucy. However, he could feel her eyes on him and he knew that she just wanted him to look at her again. But, he wasn't interested in giving her that pleasure. So, he just kept on staring straight ahead, acting oblivious to that fact. Lucy turned her head away from Darren. She didn't know why she wanted him to look at her anyway, they weren't even supposed to cross part at all, not after what he did with Sharon. A few seconds later, she felt his eyes on her. He was staring hard at her and he wasn't even trying to hide it. She slowly turned her head towards his direction, their eyes locking onto one another. Lucy gulped down, while Darren just looked on. He wanted to look away, but he couldn't. His eyes started roaming around her face, taking in all of her features. She was looking so pretty and he
After that little moment between Lucy and Darren, Lucy changed into her wolf form and started going home with the guards assigned to her. While she was going, she couldn't just stop thinking about Darren and what happened in the court. It was as if they were looking at each other throughout. She can't even remember most of the words said in the court. The only thing that she can remember clearly is Darren and his face. They had been communicating so much through that little eye contact. Even though she is currently angry with him, she wishes to experience that with him again. She found herself smoking so hard, still bringing back the view of Darren licking his lips at her. Even though she knew that he didn't do it on purpose, she was still happy about it, smiling like a very happy child. Immediately Lucy and Darren left the house for the court, Sharon's phone started ringing. With a grin on her face, she picked it up almost immediately. "Hey, baby!" She said excitedly, ho
Sharon hadn't even taken up to three steps from her man, when she turned back. She was missing him already. "You can walk with me back home, can't you? I mean, I'm sure nobody is going to see us." She whined, dragging the man's hand. "I can't, Sharon. It's risky." The man said, trying to peel her body away from him, but she was being adamant. Since nobody was at home, she wanted to use the opportunity to spend time with her man endowed going back home to face Darren - and Lucy. Ugh, Lucy. She thought, squeezing her face into a slight frown. "Please. Okay, since you don't want to walk with me back home, why don't we just walk to the river bank and just enjoy the view of the water before I leave?" She asked again, batting her lashes at him. She really hoped he would agree to that, because she didn't want to go back home early. If she- "That sounds perfect!" The man said, dragging her out of her thoughts. A grin settled on her face, spreading out on her lips up to her ears. S
Sharon was still in the water with her man. They were as quiet as hell, so they wouldn't attract Lucy to them. When Lucy was getting closer to the water, Sharon's heart was literally skipping beats. She felt like she could be seen and that was scary enough for me, not to even talk about the fact that she was with a man. That was also bad. A minute later, she slowly raised her head to see if Lucy was still there. Thankfully for her, she had already turned around and started leaving. "That was a close call." She heard the man say, also getting out of the water. Sharon didn't say anything, she just kept on staring forward, thinking of what he wanted to do. She got out of the water and the man also followed immediately. "I can't just imagine what would have happened, if we had been caught." Sharon said again, trying to dry herself. But, nothing worked. The man started walking away and Sharon dashed after him. "Were you scared?" She teased, grabbing on to his hand. He sta
"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

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.

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.

"You are a beacon of strength, my Luna," he whispered, his voice filled with awe.

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.

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.

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
