The car cut through the road, leaving behind landscapes that changed with the sunset. Dorian and Kane, excited, played in the back seat, trying to dispel the monotony of the long journey. Cassian, on the other hand, gazed at the scenery through the window, lost in his own thoughts. When he faced Ignis through the rearview mirror, Cassian broke the silence.
“How much longer until we reach my father's house?” he asked, his calm voice carrying subtle anxiety.
Ignis, focused on the road, responded without taking her eyes off the path.
“It's still a bit. But considering it's getting dark, maybe it's better to stop at a hotel for the night.”
Cassian surveyed the surroundings, surprised by the early suggestion to stop. It was still early, but darkness was beginning to dominate the horizon.
“Night driving on this stretch can be tricky. Better safe than sorry
The intrigued triplets exchanged glances, not fully understanding the dynamic between Ignis and Jeff. They watched the scene without knowing what was about to happen.Jeff, in turn, smiled maliciously. “Ignis, Ignis, Ignis... I thought I made it quite clear that I don't like people meddling in my affairs.”Ignis crossed her arms, maintaining a firm stance. “I also thought I made it clear that I don't like to be threatened. But here we are.”Cassian stood up, his expression serious, and asked, “Who is this, Ignis?”Ignis looked at Jeff and explained, “This is Jeff, an old acquaintance. He and I have some unfinished business.”Jeff gave Ignis a challenging look and said, “I hope you have a good explanation to give me.”Ignis crossed her arms, maintaining her composure. “Let's talk outside, away f
In a quick and precise movement, she extended her hands toward Jeff, and with a power that seemed to transcend the ordinary, she pushed him forcefully, throwing him away.The force of the push startled not only Jeff but also the triplets, who stared in astonishment. Dorian, still catching his breath, looked at Cassian and asked, perplexed, “Is this... is this some kind of vampire power?”Cassian, equally surprised, shook his head in disbelief. “I... I don't know.”The werewolf, momentarily surprised, stepped back, growling in frustration. The other werewolves hesitated, watching the interaction between Ignis and Jeff.Ignis looked at Jeff firmly. “I don't want to fight, Jeff. There are bigger things at play here.”Jeff, still in his lupine form, bared his teeth and roared, challenging Ignis. The other werewolves began to approach, undecided on how to proceed.Ignis raised her hand, signaling them to stop.
The atmosphere in the hotel room was calm as Ignis settled each of the brothers into their beds. Kane wished goodnight, and Ignis, leaning in, placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, wishing him sweet dreams. Dorian followed suit, saying goodnight, and Ignis responded by wishing him to sleep with the angels.Ignis approached Cassian's bed, and he looked at her with a serious expression. Cassian couldn't help but express his feelings.“I'm sorry for thinking you were a vampire,” said Cassian.“Don't worry, Cassian. It's always good to be cautious, especially in this world you're beginning to discover. Your mother taught you very well,” Ignis replied.Cassian thanked her, genuinely touched by Ignis's understanding. She suggested, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes, a way to handle doubtful situations in the future.“If you want, we can use garlic as a
I was standing next to Hunter at the gas station, trying to absorb the information that had just been revealed. Ignis was taking my children to the pack. The shock reflected in my eyes, and my heart throbbed with a mix of hope and apprehension.“Are you sure about this?” I asked Hunter, seeking validation for the news that seemed too good to be true.Hunter nodded determinedly. “Zora spoke on the phone. Ignis is taking the kids to the pack.”A nervous smile formed on my lips as I processed the idea that my children were on their way to a place where they would be protected. “The Goddess must have heard my prayers... And Zora? Does she know you're their father?”Hunter shook his head. “No, it seems that hasn't been revealed yet. But, Fierce, you don't need to worry. Once we get to the pack, I'll clear everything up with Zora.”I bit
The confession echoed on the deserted road, enveloping us in a truth I wasn't prepared to face. My eyes met Caleb's, seeking answers beyond immediate understanding.“What?” I whispered, my mind struggling to process this revelation. Caleb sighed again, apologies lingering in his expression.“When I met Zora, years ago, something inside me inexplicably connected to her. I was marked as the destined wolf, meant to protect her, to serve her,” he explained, with a certain nostalgia. “However, the Alpha King's daughter getting involved with a recently banished wolf was not part of the plan, so Garnet hired Jeff to get rid of me once and for all, but I managed to escape.”Hunter returned to our side, observing the unfolding events. I stared at him, seeking answers in his eyes.My mind was filled with questions, but one in particular echoed louder. “Why, Caleb? Why
Caleb's wolf growled in response, defiant. Tension hung between us, and the road that once represented an uncertain destination transformed into the stage for an imminent battle.“It doesn't have to be like this, Caleb. We can resolve this without violence,” I tried to argue, even knowing that the words would likely be ignored.The wolf lunged, fast and lethal. Hunter, with surprising agility, evaded the attack, but the situation unfolded rapidly.Hunter, moving with skill, tried to restrain Caleb, but the wolf's fury was uncontrollable. Sharp claws and bared teeth were a brutal reminder that we were facing a formidable predator.Hunter transformed into his own wolf. The two beasts faced each other, a duel about to begin. Caleb launched himself at Hunter with ferocity. The road became a battleground, and I was at the center of this wolfish clash.Instinctively, I reac
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. 
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.
