The answer echoed in my ears, and the duality of my emotions manifested. On one hand, the possibility of returning to the pack filled me with warmth, knowing I would be close to the triplets, but on the other hand, the prospect of living in the shadow of the family Hunter would build with Zora was overwhelming.
“You know I won't stay away from my children,” I asserted, my voice firm but marked by anguish. “But I don't know if I can bear to see you and Zora as the perfect family with my children while I stand on the sidelines of it all.”
Hunter parked the car, bringing it to a halt. He turned to face me, a firm serenity in his eyes. “Do you really think I would do that to you?”
I couldn't help the disbelief that reflected in my gaze. The complex dynamics among the three of us were becoming more intense w
The air in the pack was charged with tension as Hunter carried Zora toward the center of the community. Garm awaited us like a guardian. I locked eyes with Garm, my heart racing with the urgency to know about my children.“Where are my kids?” I asked Garm, my voice betraying anxiety. He looked at me and pointed toward the omega den with notable seriousness.“They're in the omega den. They're going to need care,” Garm replied, concern evident in his eyes.“Thank you,” I murmured, without waiting for further explanations, and ran towards the omega den. Worry dominated my thoughts as I imagined what could have happened to my triplets.Upon arrival, I found Cierce, whose expression already hinted at bad news. I stared at her urgently and pleaded for answers.“Where are the boys?” I questioned, my voice echoing with anguish. 
“Who told you?” I asked, curious.“I didn't need anyone to reach that conclusion. Cassian's expression gave away who the father was,” Zora revealed, confirming that the resemblance between Cassian and Hunter was so striking that paternity couldn't be denied.“I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, neither you nor Hunter,” I confessed, seeking to mend the lack of transparency.Zora, in turn, questioned if Hunter was already aware of the paternity. “When did you tell him, Fierce?”“I told Hunter when we arrived in Seattle,” I explained. However, Zora's reaction alerted me to something I hadn't noticed.“Weird,” commented Zora. “Hunter didn't mention anything about already knowing he was the father.”“I suggest you talk when Hunter returns,” I suggested, realizing the
The air was thick with tension when I, alongside Cierce, was taken aback by Hunter's arrival. His piercing eyes observed every move we made, and his curious expression indicated that he wanted to know about our conversation.“What were you two discussing?” Hunter inquired, directing his gaze alternately at me and Cierce.I stared at Hunter with a momentary hesitation. I wasn't sure if it was the right time to reveal the truth about Zora's injuries. Meanwhile, Cierce took the opportunity to bid farewell.“I'll check on how Zora and the boys are doing,” Cierce said, heading towards the den's entrance.“Alright,” Hunter agreed, allowing Cierce to leave. I thanked Cierce for her presence, and she departed.Hunter once again turned his gaze to me, awaiting an explanation.“What were you talking about?” Hunter asked,
While Cierce prepared the Calendula, Hunter appeared. His eyes narrowed as he observed the activity, and he approached with concern.“What are you doing?” inquired Hunter, his voice laden with worry.“Cierce is preparing Calendula to help with the boys' fever,” I explained, turning to face him.Hunter nodded, understanding the situation. “The wolves haven't returned yet?”“No, Hunter. No one has passed by here yet,” Cierce replied, holding the Calendula flower in her hands.Hunter took a deep breath, realizing the gravity of the situation. “I'll check what might have happened. We need the antidote as soon as possible.”As Hunter walked away to investigate, Cierce began preparing an infusion with Calendula petals. The warmth of the den contrasted with the chill of fear settling in my chest. I was torn
We walked out of the omega den, Hunter, Cierce, and I. Tension hung in the air as we approached the entrance, and our eyes met Garm, injured and visibly shaken. Cierce's stern expression revealed the urgency of the situation.“What happened, Garm?” Cierce inquired, examining the wolf's wounds.Garm cast a weary glance at Cierce. “It all happened too fast. The wolves started getting attacked, and I tried to get closer to grab some fruits, but I was stopped.”I looked at Garm with concern. “Stopped by whom?”Garm took a deep breath before responding. “Ignis.”My heart raced upon hearing that name. Ignis was still alive, complicating the situation even further.“Ignis... is she alive? Or, rather, still alive?” I asked, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation.Garm nodded, indic
Tension hung in the air as we walked back to the Omega Den. The news of Garm's injuries and the possibility of an unknown threat to our pack created an atmosphere of apprehension. Hunter, Garm, Zora, Cierce, and I were gathered, discussing our next steps.Upon reaching the den entrance, Hunter approached Garm and Zora with a serious look.“I've made a decision,” he began. “I've decided to head to the mountain range to find Belladonna. If the boys have any chance of survival, I need to act quickly.”“How many will go with you?” Garm, asked, staring at Hunter with determined eyes.Hunter shook his head. “I don't want to put anyone else in danger, especially if Ignis is there. I intend to go alone.”Zora held Hunter's hand, concerned. “I don't want you to go, Hunter. It's too dangerous. If something happens to you...”
A strange presence manifested itself, and when I turned around, I found myself face to face with a woman in a black dress, with dark hair, and eyes in an intense shade of violet. Instantly, I knew it was Ignis, the Peeira who had wreaked havoc in our lives.Ignis stared at me with a smile on her lips and, in a teasing tone, began to speak. “In the bottom cabinet, you'll find rue, in the form of oil. It is an excellent herb to make the alpha do everything we desire. Also, we have Myrrh, great for keeping the wolves calm and obediently submissive.”I was stunned by the revelation. How did Ignis know this information? Tension grew as I faced that enigmatic figure before me.“How do you know this?” I asked, my voice sounding firmer than I felt at that moment.Ignis stared at me, her violet eyes penetrating, as if she could read my soul. “I know because I am the culprit, Fier
My immediate concerns shifted to hope. “How? Are they okay?”Cierce nodded. “Yes, they are. Come, let's check on the triplets.”As we walked together, I tried to focus on what truly mattered: my children.***My heart raced as I hurriedly walked with Cierce back to the omega den. My mind was consumed by anxiety and worry, eager to reach the place where my children, Cassian, Dorian, and Kane, were supposed to have awakened after being poisoned by Ignis. Cierce accompanied me, sharing my desire to be close to them as soon as possible.Finally, we reached the den, and my breath was fast as I ran toward the area where my children would be. A mix of fear and hope permeated each step I took. Upon reaching the spot where they were supposed to lie, my heart leaped with joy to see Cassian, Dorian, and Kane not only awake but also talking with Zora.
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.
