I approached Cierce, who was focused on the details of the den, making sure everything was in order. Her gaze lifted to meet mine as I drew near.
“How are the boys' injuries?” I asked, concerned about the well-being of the triplets.
Cierce offered a calm smile. “They are recovering well. Mandrake seems to have helped significantly. They'll be fully healed soon.”
I nodded, grateful for Cierce's healing abilities. “You're amazing, Cierce. Thank you for everything.”
She humbly nodded. “It's my duty to take care of the pack, especially when it comes to Luna's children.”
I left Cierce to spend time with my children, who were still recovering in their beds. Upon reaching them, I found Cassian, Dorian, and Kane, each showing signs of improvement and renewed strength.
I sat beside them, gently caressing Kane's face, who
It was as if an electric current ran through my body, alerting me to the potential threat she represented.“Cierce?” I murmured, staring at her. “Why did Ignis think Cierce was a threat?”Cassian looked at Cierce and then at me. “I don't know, Mom, but Ignis used the garlic code only when she arrived.”The tension in the den was palpable, and Cierce's gaze met mine. She remained calm, but something in her eyes made me question.I looked at Cassian, seeking more clarification. “Tell me, my love, exactly what happened that day.”***THE ARRIVAL OF THE TRIPLETSZora's expression changed abruptly when they mentioned Hunter. Her joyful demeanor faded, replaced by a perplexed expression, and then a slight tension. Ignis, noticing the change, stared at her with curiosity.&ldqu
DINNERThe dining room of the Cabin was filled with tension and curiosity as Cassian, Dorian, and Kane awaited the arrival of their parents. Ignis, accompanying them, seemed to carry additional knowledge that had not yet been shared. In her serene posture, she directed her attention to Kane.“Kane, did you sleep well?”Kane smiled at Ignis, responding enthusiastically. “Yes, I slept very well.”Ignis smiled gently at Kane. “I'm glad you slept well, Kane. Now we just need to wait for your mother.”Dorian, curious, turned to Ignis. “Is it true that our parents are coming, Ignis?”Cassian, confirming Dorian's statement, added, “Yes, Zora said they are on their way.”Ignis, suddenly serious, fixed her gaze on Cassian. “I would like you to pay attention to what will happen next, Cassian.&rdqu
The revelation about Ignis attacking my children left me in shock. My mind spun as I tried to assimilate what it meant. Ignis, who should have been an ally to Hunter and Zora, had revealed herself as a threat to the pack.There was still the situation with Cierce and Jeff, who apparently was her destined wolf. Ignis, seeing Cierce as a threat and sensing wolfbane in the food prepared by Zora, acted violently. Did Cierce know that Jeff was involved in the kidnapping?Holding Cassian's hand, I sought to understand better what happened during the dinner with Ignis.“What else happened during dinner?” I asked, looking at Cassian, hoping he could provide more details.Cassian, visibly disturbed, met my gaze and began recounting what he remembered. “The last thing I recall is Ignis throwing a ball of blue energy towards us. It was all very fast, and the next thing I knew, I was here in th
HUNTER'S POVThe Mountain Range stretched before me, majestic and imposing. My gray wolf form ran swiftly alongside Garm, my loyal beta. Desperation and urgency fueled our paws in the desperate search for Belladonna who could save my children, poisoned by Ignis. As we reached the base of the mountain, I stopped abruptly, staring at Garm with determined eyes.“Where is the Belladonna?” I asked, anxiety echoing in my voice.Garm, assuming his human form, pointed to the tip of the Mountain Range, indicating the beginning of the gorge. “It's there, Alpha Hunter. At the top, at the beginning of the gorge. That's where Belladonna blooms.”I nodded, determined to reach the plant as quickly as possible. “I'll get the fruit. You keep watch in case Ignis shows up.”Garm nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. I transformed back
I was sitting near my children's beds—Cassian, Dorian, and Kane—embracing them while my gaze couldn't detach from Cierce's movements. She walked around the den, seemingly oblivious to the whirlwind of thoughts and revelations boiling within me.Cierce, my friend, a constant presence in my life, felt so distant at that moment. Uncertainty settled in as I stroked Kane's sleepy head, questioning whether Cierce was truly capable of betrayal or if, like all of us, she was a victim of Jeff's elaborate plan.Unresolved events piled up in my mind like missing pieces of a complex puzzle. Why did Caleb, Jeff, and the other banished ones kidnap my children? What did they hope to gain from it? And Ignis, what role did she play in this sinister plot?Cassian broke the silence, staring at me, inquiring about my thoughts. “What are you
The weight of Cierce's words hung in the air, like a looming death sentence. My instincts screamed at me to brace myself for the impending confrontation, while the darkness of the night intensified around us. It was time to face the consequences of a betrayal that cut as deep as the claws of a hungry wolf.The weight of her words hung in the air, but I didn't allow fear to take hold of me. Instead, I faced Cierce with determination. “You betrayed our friendship, Cierce. Why?”A bitter smile danced on Cierce's lips, her eyes filled with resentment.“Because I'm an omega,” she replied, her voice a bitter whisper. “Always rejected, always underestimated by the pack. The only joy I had was when the Goddess blessed me, saying that Jeff was my destined wolf. But even that, you and Hunter managed to take away from me.”I furrowed my brow, perplexed. “I didn't take a
ZORA'S POVThe night's shadows enveloped the forest as I, Zora, gazed at the full moon with Ignis by my side. Since a young age, I knew that my existence was the result of a punishment imposed by the Moon Goddess. My father, Garnet, before becoming the Alpha King, pleaded with Ignis to reject him, allowing him to be with Ogenj, the one he loved. Ignis accepted the responsibility, aware of the consequences. However, Garnet ended up losing Ogenj on the day of their love's fruit's birth, and now he had a female heir, me.As my father sought another Luna to replace Ogenj and ensure a male heir, Ignis took on the task of caring for me. She wanted me to understand that I was not the result of a curse but an opportunity to change my fate.That night, we were in the heart of the Sawtooth National Forest, standing by the river, heads held high to the full moon. At seven years old, I looked at Ignis and questioned.
ZORA'S POVThe heart of the pack pulsed with a unique energy as Ignis, Garm, and I made our way to the gathering place. Wooden benches were arranged in an organized manner, and in the center, a colossal throne stood, carved with faces representing the alphas who preceded Garnet, the imposing Alpha King. Expectations hung in the air, and pack members began to gather, eager for the important decision that was about to be announced.I stared at the throne, whose imposing presence echoed my father's authority, and my thoughts wandered to what was to come. Garnet would choose his Luna today, the woman who would share the throne and eventually be the mother of his heir. A shadow of concern loomed over me as I wondered what fate awaited me in this process. It was impossible not to think about what was at stake, especially for me, the Alpha's daughter, who saw the shadow of succession looming over the pack.Ignis sensed my restlessness and ge
Hi, everyone,This is Kane Silver Black... Blackto... Blackout...It's Blackthorn, silly... Hi, everyone, it's Dorian Silver Blackthorn.Dorian, get out of here; you're ruining my moment.What moment, Kane?I was here telling everyone what happened after Mom and Dad showed up.Okay, but you slept most of the time, Kane. How are you going to tell everything that happened?I didn't sleep at all, Dorian! You're lying!Oh, yeah? Then tell us what Dad's vows were to Mom.And do you know, Dorian?I asked first, Kane.Hey, what are you guys doing?Oh, darn, Cassian's here...Hi, Cassian, I caught Kane telling everyone about what happened after Mom and Dad found us in the den, but he doesn't even know how to say our full names.&
The first attack was accurate. I bit Zora's paw, causing her to release Kane. My heart raced as I continued to advance, determined to confront Zora head-on. She tried to dodge, but I managed to strike her shoulder. The pain seemed to surprise her, but I didn't give room for hesitation.“Now, it's between us,” I declared, staring at Zora with penetrating eyes.Without wasting time, Zora ran out of the den, and I followed suit. The clearing was illuminated by the moon, making every movement visible. As soon as Zora reached the outside, I pounced on her, my claws ready to act. With a precise blow, I brought her down to the ground.Zora's transformation from wolf to human was swift. I stared at her, awaiting her next words. Zora, in turn, looked at me with a defiant smile.“What are you going to do now?” I inquired, maintaining my firm stance.Zora just laughe
Zora, satisfied with her victory, approached, her malicious smile indicating the promise of more suffering. I stared at her, keeping my fury contained. Zora didn't know what it was to give up, and I couldn't allow her to win so easily.Zora, pleased with her action, approached me, her eyes gleaming with cruel pleasure. She had a plan, and I knew I had to act cautiously to avoid further losses.“Do you know what I'm going to do now, Fierce?” Zora taunted, a malevolent smile dancing on her lips.I faced Zora with determination and responded firmly, even though my heart was heavy with grief for the loss of Cierce: “I will kill you.”A laughter echoed from Zora's lips, resonating through the clearing like a sinister symphony. “Oh, Fierce, you're so predictable. No, I won't let you kill me. And I won't kill you now either. I have other plans for both of us.”&nbs
The night stretched over the pack, but the darkness was insignificant compared to the storm raging between us. Outside the den, Zora revealed her true nature, a monster rooted in bitterness and a thirst for power. Cierce and I, bound by hands, listened attentively to the confessions that, so cruel, seemed to arise from a distorted nightmare. Zora stared at me with cold and bitter eyes, words laden with resentment cutting through the night air. She unveiled the horrors she had committed to try to take my place as Hunter's Luna. Losing her own child while burning the cabin, all to incriminate me, was a cruelty beyond imagination. Consternation overwhelmed me in the face of such a perverse revelation. “The worst,” Zora said, “was seeing the relief in Hunter's eyes when he learned the baby died. He disguised it well, but I could feel it.” I looked at Zora with an impassive expression. “No father
ZORA'S POVHis sincere smile warmed my heart, dispelling some of the doubts that haunted me. The pack revealed itself as we approached, and I could feel the vibrations of the energy emanating from that special place.Entering the central clearing where the wolves gathered, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Curious eyes turned to us as Hunter and I shared a smile that expressed our new journey as mates and parents.Alpha Alastair and his Beta, Ulrich, were among them, waiting. Crossing the boundaries of the clearing, a palpable tension filled the space.“Alastair, Ulrich, I have news to share with everyone,” Hunter announced, his voice echoing through the trees.The murmurs ceased, giving way to an expectant silence.“Zora is pregnant. We're having a child.”The impact of the words reverberated throughou
ZORA'S POVI was lying in bed, surrounded by omegas in the room I shared with Hunter in the Cabin. Ignis watched everything from the edge of the bed, her sharp gaze betraying her distrust. The omegas were conducting touch tests to verify if I was really pregnant, while outside Hunter and my father, Garnet, eagerly awaited an answer. The tension in the air was palpable.I locked eyes with one of the omegas, nervous, and asked, almost too anxious to wait: “What's the conclusion?”The omega exchanged glances with Ignis before responding: “You are pregnant.”An instant smile of happiness formed on my face, and I thanked emotionally.“Thank you,” I said to the omega, “please, call Hunter and my father to share the good news.”“It's not time yet, omega,” Ignis said, looking at the omega and the others. &ld
ZORA'S POVThe atmosphere in Alastair's private room was tense, laden with the uncertainty of my accusations. I stared at Alastair firmly, determined to prove the truth, while Ulrich, the beta, remained silent, scrutinizing every word.“Zora, how can I believe these accusations without solid evidence?” Alastair inquired, his expression skeptical.“What I have to offer are facts, Alastair,” I replied, holding my ground. “As soon as Hunter started the test against the Brown Bear, Fierce followed him. I grew suspicious and decided to follow both.”Ulrich frowned, suspicious. “That's not enough to prove that Hunter is cheating on the test. It could be just a coincidence.”I decided not to back down. “I went to the test site, and to my surprise, I found Hunter taking Fierce to the omega den.”Alastair rai
ZORA'S POVI moved away from the river towards the forest. The plan was taking shape in my mind, a subtle web of strategies that would allow me to interfere with the bonds of Hunter and Fierce without violating the promises made. Entering the territory of shadows, I reached the border between the pack and the lands of the banished. The atmosphere changed, laden with a denser and forbidden energy. Banished wolves, outcast creatures, maintained a marginal existence in this border realm.Using the ability to communicate with supernatural beings taught by Ignis, I began whispering ancient words, invoking the presence of the banished. The response came in the form of shifting shadows, circling our presence with curiosity and suspicion.“What do you seek, daughter of Garnet?” a deep, echoing voice emerged from the shadows, belonging to a banished wolf. Staring into the shadows, I spoke, “I need help with Fier
ZORA'S POVI walked through the pack, thoughts swirling in my mind like leaves in the wind. The name “Fierce” echoed like a disturbing mantra, an unwanted presence in my plans to assume the position of Hunter's Luna. Every step was laden with uncertainty, and I knew the only way to dispel my doubts was to confront the truth head-on.
