*Mackenzie*

I woke up suddenly as the icy water landed on my entire body. I gasped and started choking, trying to catch my breath. My body was sore, and even breathing hurt. A cold chill ran through my body when I noticed all my clothes were wet, and I was lying on the cold, musty, dirty floor.

"What a nice sight. I haven't seen you like that for a long time, little girl."

A familiar, mocking voice pierced the air, immediately sobering me up. My heart pounded as I found the gaze of that one and only person I never wanted to see again. My stepmother, Esther Allard, smiled evilly at me from behind bars.

"I had to wait a long time for you, my love. But after what I discovered, I must say it was worth the wait. Letting you off the leash was my best choice of the year.” She laughed, throwing away the empty bucket.

I crawled away from her, even though there was a long distance from the bars. It was instinct; no meeting with her was pleasant, and I knew my presence here was not accidental.

    *Conrad*"I do not believe you!" I shouted or rather growled, fed up with hearing another lie, as I approached Madison.Garret and Miles held me down but were having trouble doing so. Rip was always hard to control, but it was almost a miracle to keep him inside after the transformation. Every little nudge I made to maintain the block he used to force the shift enraged me even more. As much as I wanted to let him do this, I knew we wouldn't achieve anything by doing so. Rip acted first and asked questions later. And in this case, Madison won't tell us anything."But I really-" Maddie sobbed in my mother's arms once again."Do not lie to me!" I screamed again, spitting my saliva. I lost my nerves long ago. As soon as I realized that these damned clouds were not only a harbinger of a nasty and fierce storm but, above all, a sign of my subsequent failure, I was pissed beyond imagination."They're gone. And no one. No one was close enough to Robert except you to know who was behind all th

    *Conrad*Walking down the stairs and into the dark corridor leading to the farthest cells, I tried to calm down. Rip was excited about venting his anger, pushing the block further and driving me crazy.'Impatient asshole.' I commented, but Rip didn't even react. The closer we got to the cell where Melody and Chase stayed, the more his excitement grew, forming a massive headache for me."Chase first. I'll save Melody for last." I dissed Miles and Garret, especially Rip, who almost attacked me for wasting his time."I want him in the cell for interrogation; Melody is to be on standby in room two,” I instructed the guards and went to my cell to wait for Chase.The last time I was in this cell was when we captured the mercenaries hunting Mackenzie. In the same cell, Chase was interrogating them. I laughed dryly. What an irony that Chase was dragged into the mess by his sister and mate to be interrogated this time.I sat in a corner chair and waited. Moments later, two people, Miles and Ch

    *Mackenzie*"Zee.""Enzee.""Mackenzie""Luna!"I woke up, shocked. I suddenly didn't know where I was or what was happening. Plus, someone preferred me, or at least that's what I thought. I blinked a few times, and my eyes adjusted to the darkened room; my nose wrinkled from the pungent stench, and my stomach churned with hunger."Luna, are you hurt?" I heard a voice from across me.I lifted my head and looked into the tired eyes of Maddox, the Dragon King, half-naked and chained to the wall, sitting on the cold and dirty floor in the opposite cell.The sight brought me back to my senses. I was in the dungeons, back where I managed to escape, back in the Green Forest Pack."I'm fine. I'm just tired, hungry and thirsty. How are you feeling? How long have you been here? What did they do to you?" I asked questions as I slowly got up from the cold floor."Thank you for your concern. I've had better times, but I've also been through worse times." Maddox sighed, resting his head against th

    *Mackenzie*I couldn't even do simple things like walking. There was a moment when Leon had to remind me to move, and Maddox bluntly expressed his annoyance at my unnecessary slowdown."I don't know about you, Luna." He brusquely emphasized my title, "But I want to get out of here as quickly as possible. Call for backup and destroy the whole damn pack." He stated, rushing me once again.„Don't tell me that you suddenly felt a connection with this place?” He asked, rolling his eyes.I looked at him, and even though the tunnel was barely lit, I didn't miss the challenging look on his face. I sighed, tightened my grip on Leon's hand, and quickened my pace, avoiding answering."I thought so,” Maddox said under his breath, adjusting Anna in his arms.I don't know how long it has been since we entered the tunnel, trusting my father's words. The tunnel must have been at least several hundred years old and wound endlessly. The cold at the entrance was only helpful for one thing - it helped Le

    *Mackenzie*"It's us!" Leon shouted as the large body crushed him."Conrad, it's us!" He repeated, and my heart stopped when I heard my husband's name.I leaned Anna against the wall, ensuring she wouldn't fall, and stood up slowly. With hope beating in my heart, I approached Maddox, who was still standing, staring at the silhouette of the man blocking our exit."Conrad?" I called his name, but the man didn't respond.I stopped my walk next to Maddox, glanced at his face, and found him smiling mischievously at the newcomer. "I never thought I'd be happy to see another guy.” Maddox confessed with a soft chuckle, and quickly, almost snapping my neck, I turned towards the guy. My shock turned into delight, delight into tears, and then into choking laughter when he, my Conrad, revealed himself from behind Garrett's smiling face."Starfish."One word from him made me forget about everything and everyone around me. My legs moved as if fueled by love, and I ran towards the exit, where my Pr

    *Mackenzie*We stood at the tunnel entrance with our foreheads pressed together while our hands interlaced. None of us spoke a word, but the beating of our hearts and the gentle touches of our fingers spoke volumes.“We need to go, Mackenzie.” Maddox urged us to move, but we stayed reluctant, “Please. We don’t have much time to waste. I swear to protect her, Connie. Let her go.” Garret patted Conrad’s shoulder as he grabbed my arm, trying to pry me away from my mate.“Just one second, please,” I begged as I pressed my body to Conrad’s, and our eyes met. “Stay safe. Stick to the plan. Stay with Garret and Caris.” Conrad reminded me as he lifted our hands to graze my cheeks. I nodded, agreeing to his terms. “And no matter what, save yourself. If you have to choose. Chose yourself.” His voice cracked slightly at the end, and I eagerly nodded.“I promise.” I agreed, speaking barely above a whisper as I raised to seal the vow with the kiss.Conrad responded immediately and captured my lip

    *Mackenzie*My heart was beating like crazy as we passed the last section of the tunnel. My grip on Garret's arm tightened as we slowly approached the entrance to the cell. My breathing quickened, and everyone noticed my nervousness."I promised you something. And I intend to keep my promise. But you must calm down, or our whole plan won't work." Maddox stopped, turned, and pointed the now barely smoldering torch in my direction."You have the courage and strength to face it. You just have to believe in yourself." He advised me, but I couldn’t find his words encouraging."Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has been serving as her entertainment for many years. I don't know if I can handle it." I doubted myself, remembering the very fear I felt every time she whipped me.Garret hugged me, and Caris patted my head to reassure me. I snuggled into him, trying to absorb every inch of his warmth. Esther terrifies me, and I wasn’t sure if anything would help me stand up to her."Ange

    *Mackenzie*I felt dizzy and nauseous, and my legs were shaking like aspen trees, but I didn't give up. I held onto the wall Maddox had slumped against and stood up. Determination was stronger than fear or fatigue. I placed my hands on the wall and rested my forehead against it. I looked down at the miserable but definitely alive Maddox and sighed deeply."Remember what you promised," I mumbled, trying to control my weak body. "I'm going. Give me strength." I said, praying to all the gods possible.I had no time to waste, although my condition did not indicate the slightest chance of winning against the enemy. What happened to Maddox was the determination to end this witch’s rule, and even if I had to die in the process, I didn’t care. Esther had to be gone, no matter the consequences. Not trusting my legs, I left the cell, leaning on the wall. My head slowly cleared, and the dizziness gradually diminished as I shuffled down the hall towards the exit. I heard Roy moaning from behind

    *Mackenzie*Fireball leaped over the log and, with a wild roar, sank her teeth into the native's shoulder, causing him to drop his ax to the ground with a groan. I stepped back, stretching my hands and summoning my flames. The natives also retreated when they saw my powers and the burning lynx, which did not hesitate to tear them to shreds."Holy shit, Starfish. You run from me again, and you won't be able to sit down for a week. Do you understand?" Conrad ran out of breath, tearing up the vines blocking his path."And you, young lady, can forget about scratching behind your ears for a month." He threatened Fireball, who reluctantly released the native and, offended, turned away from Conrad."Don't give me that shit. I'm not joking, little one." Conrad repeated, but Fireball stood unfazed."Honey, maybe it's better to focus on these people than on our punishment, ok? After all, they tried to cut me up with those axes." I pointed at the retreating people, not extinguishing my flames.Co

    *Garrett*I wandered the halls, assessing what else was needed before handing the pack to the new Alpha. No one asked me to do this, but I needed to ensure everything was fixed.Caris felt obliged to meet my father and the people I grew up with, so she spent the entire day meeting them. I hope that her temperament and love of alcohol will not be perceived negatively. I love her to death, but even I got fed up with her sometimes. Ansel roared in agreement with me. Tanga could also give him a hard time from time to time.'It's just a pity you can't admit it in front of her, you coward.' I commented, knowing how meek he could be, nodding to Tanga.'It's called pampering your lady.' Ansel took offense, exhaling air through his nostrils.'Yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night, man.' I scoffed, returning to assessing our losses. "Pussy." I muttered under my breath, laughing.Ansel got angry and started growling at me, but I quickly blocked our communication, enjoying the undisturbed silen

    *Conrad*I sat on the bed, staring at my bare feet. There was still dark outside; the moon gently peeked into our window, illuminating my face as I slept and waking me up at night. I sighed quietly and turned to look at my peacefully sleeping Starfish, sprawled out on the bed, taking up more than half of the mattress. I laughed under my breath. Her nickname fits her perfectly.I got up from the bed and walked around to cover Mackenzie, who had kicked the blankets out and was snoring adorably. I picked the blanket from the floor and covered her body, watching her sleep soundly, undisturbed by decisions that may affect our future.I brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her head before taking in the delicious scent of blueberry cheesecake she smelt of before I got dressed and quietly left the room for some fresh air.I was putting on a T-shirt when a woman in a messy bun, a loose T-shirt, and jeans came out from the opposite room, yawning. She stopped dead when she saw me, wonderi

    *Mackenzie*I stared at Claire with a tornado of thoughts in my head. I was extremely grateful that Garrett was still holding me in his arms cause I didn‘t trust my feet. My knees almost buckled when Claire dropped that bomb suddenly."Fifty years," I mumbled, turning my gaze to Agatha.Agatha Allard. Roy's mother, my grandmother, has been dead for over fifty years.I slowly got out of Garrett's arms and cautiously approached the chest. I knelt next to her and placed my hand on the lid. I felt a strange power of attraction, as if there was something inside that belonged to me."Now, it doesn't matter whether she died half a century ago or half an hour ago. She didn't reveal anything important. Nothing except her last request to destroy that chest." I said, revealing Agatha's last words."If no one wants to take this box outside, we'll have to do it here," I announced as I slowly detached my grandmother's bony hands from the chest.Everyone gathered stared at me, wondering if they shou

    *Claire*I didn't know how to feel. After over thirty years, I returned home. And even though it was no longer my home, the sentiment remained. And my heart beat faster every time I walked along a familiar path or passed a place where Levi and I spent our most precious time.Dara was in a dilemma. Although, like me, she was pleased to be back at Green Forest Pack, her heart could not forgive what happened to us here. Here in our home, everything we loved was taken away from us.'You act as if we were going to come back here. But I didn't say anything like that. Not even a thought.' I laughed when she growled at me again when I got too close to the tree swing near the school.'You don't have to say anything; I feel and hear everything. After all, I'm your smarter half.' She countered, reminding me of her importance.'Thanks for reminding me that I'm the stupidest one here. You can always count on smarty-pants.' I rolled my eyes as I left the swing and headed towards the pack house.'Yo

    *Mackenzie*The day was ending, and nothing we had set out to do was ready. The wounded were still being treated. The missing people are still searched, and the dead, although there were not many of them, were waiting for their turn. We only managed to organize accommodation for over five hundred people in a banquet hall that had not been used for centuries.People asked about everything. Why did this have to happen to them? Why do they have to suffer for the sins of others, and why can't they return to their homes? I didn't know what to answer them; no one did, especially Claire, who was constantly surrounded by a group of people excited about the return of their real Luna.Even though she had a tired look, she didn't refuse anyone, even those who interrupted her meal. She always greeted everyone with a smile, kindness, and openness. And I will have to learn this from her because I avoided people like the plague.When we left the pack house and Maddox set me on my feet, Conrad relaxe

    *Mackenzie*The kiss didn‘t last long, but it felt like forever. I clung to Conrad, not letting him end the kiss or our embrace. My wings fluttered playfully before fully penetrating my back, wrapping me in their soft feathers, clinging to my ribs."I guess it's over," Conrad whispered, combing my hair."I guess it's over," I confirmed, blushing after our sweet yet public display of affection.Around us, people were still confused, not knowing what to do, how to react, or what to say. I'm not surprised. Not every day you get to fight against those who want to free you. It's not every day you find out that the last decades of your life were a lie, and it's not every day you experience a fight between creatures that, according to legend, have long since existed."Why don't we clean up first and then deal with the aftermath?"Someone made a suggestion in the crowd, and hearing the multitude of unanimous cries, it must have been someone who held power."What do you say, Alpha?"

    *Melody*I lay semi-conscious on the cold, wet grass, staring into the empty eyes of my lover, Chase. My body wracked with sobs of despair that continued despite the pain of the completely severed bond vanishing. My body had fully processed the pain, but my soul was still mourning. My soul lost its half, my heart fell into pieces, and my mind couldn't cope with the most tremendous loss of my life."Ch-sss." I tried to say his name despite my broken jaw and howls.My poor weak wolf Isola cried mournfully for the Moon Mother to take her and reunite her with Axel. Her sense of life had just vanished, taken from her with the death of her soulmate. I didn't have the strength or desire to comfort her in her sadness because I wondered whether to ask the Moon Goddess to take me too.Despite my broken legs and arms, I tried to get closer to Chase's body and leave this world with him, embracing him until my last breath. Every inch I got closer to him hurt like hell, and every second I spent clo

    *Conrad* "Now, I'll show you your failure." Esther chuckled above Mackenzie‘s head, staring intently at me, "Alpha Levi." She addressed me and dragged her nails into Mackenzie‘s neck, piercing her skin. Rip couldn't stand it, and at an alarmingly fast and excruciating pace, he shifted, tearing apart all the clothes I had on. And with a sinister roar vibrating in the air, he stood before the witch in all his glory, ready to tear her to shreds. Esther smiled even wider as if she had been waiting for this very moment. Her eyes lit up when she saw Rip, and I realized where her mad enthusiasm came from. 'She thinks we're Dad. She thinks we are Levi and King.' I noticed, and Rip growled, proud but excited to show Esther who we were. "I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to kill you twice. The first time was a pleasure. Now I'll make it historic." Despite her obviously weak body, Esther snickered, threw Mackenzie aside, and lunged at Rip. All the people gathered moved aside as Rip us
