Next day at Blue Crescent packEthan sat quietly on his chair as he stared intently at Theodore's every move.Theodore had just finished, (according to Ethan's thoughts), reciting a one thousand five hundred words essay on why the refinery should be sponsored by Dowgar's pack. And Ethan didn't actually feel interested."So," Theodore finally said breaking the silence and Ethan looked away from him."So what?!" Ethan asked."What do you have to say to all I've said! Obviously!" Theodore replied rolling his eyes."No!" Ethan replied curtly."You can't be serious" Theodore replied immediately sitting up."Really?! Well too bad I'm not joking around""Your brother is in support of these, why the hell are you forming self righteous!" Theodore growled.Ethan's jaw tightened as he resisted Theodore's condescending words. He had always been wary of Theodore's ulterior motives, he knew that his desire for power outweighed any genuine concern for the pack. The tension in the room escalated with
"Thank you for holding on to the truth back there," Killian said, they already settled down to have a matured conversation some minutes after Theodore left."It's nothing, I'll always do what best for my pack and if that includes having you in my corner, sure thing!" He replied and Killian smiled nodding slowly."So what brings you here impromptu actually," Ethan asked."We actually need your help," Killian said and Ethan sat upright immediately noticing the urgency in his voice."Our help?! What's going on?!" Ethan asked."We have a werewolf hunter ravaging our town, and he has killed a good number of people in our pack," he said and Ethan's eyes went wide open."Since when has this been happening?!" He asked."Months now, I thought it's something we could manage, but now it's persisting!""You're the only one I can trust and today's just goes as far as to prove it""I realized that trying to keep my ego will cost me my pack members!""Plus seeing as I have Theodore to deal with, I s
At the hospital ..."Hey baby," Killian whispered gleefully as he walked into the hospital. He found Lyra sitting by the window in her room, her face brightening up as she saw him approach."Killian!" Lyra exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness."You're up?! Did the doctor say you could stand up from the bed?!" He asked."I felt I could, the doctor didn't have to say anything!" She replied and he shook his head."You don't have to force yourself Lyra, just yesterday you got battered!" "And I'm fine now, atleast I moved from the bed here without anyone's support" she said and he nodded slowly."I just want to make sure you're fine, I don't want you stressing,""I know!" She whispered. "So, How did your visit go? Did you talk to Ethan?"Killian took a seat next to her, gently taking her hand in his. "Yes, I did," he replied, "A lot of things happened just within that short period, you won't believe it!" He said and her eyes shone in anticipation."Tell me all about it," she whisp
That same Evening....."It's been quite a long time we had a private time together," Jada said as she walked into hers and Sebastian's apartment."It's been all about the pack for weeks now!" She added in a whisper."I know right," Sebastian replied as he walked into the house also and closed the door behind him."So dusty," Jada whispered as she bent slowly and wiped dust of the center table with the tip of her fingers."I know right," Sebastian murmured."The packhouse must think we're a member of it's occupant now," Sebastian said and she bursted out laughing."Right, we should clean up, I can't stand this much dust!" She said as she carefully dropped her back and made to walk into the kitchen."Hold on," Sebastian replied as he held her hands and pulled her back to him."What are you doing?!" She asked as he wrapped his hands around her waist.Jada's heart skipped a beat as Sebastian's arms enveloped her, his touch sending a warm shiver down her spine. She turned her head to look
Next Morning ...."Grghh" Sebastian slowly turned in bed as he looked at his phone that had been ringing nonstop.He groaned tiredly as he stretched and picked up his phone."Killian," he grunted."What the heck!" He growled immediately as he sat up abruptly on the bed."You don't mean it," he said as he pushed the duvet aside and stood up."What's going on?!" Jada murmured as she sat up on the bed rubbing her eyes still sleepy."He's saying Marcus is dead!" He rushed as he dropped the phone hurriedly."Dead?!" She gasped her voice becoming alert immediately."That's a quite dangerous prank to play!" She said."It didn't sound like a prank Jada!" Sebastian replied as he tried to look for his clothes.Sebastian and Jada quickly dressed themselves in a flurry of motion, their sleepiness banished by the urgent news. They exchanged worried glances, their minds racing with the implications of the fallen warrior. The threat of the hunter loomed larger than ever, and the loss of the Marcus
Next day ....The door to Lyra's room opened and she slowly turned to look at it.Immediately she saw Xander her lips stretched into a wide smile."Xander!" She whispered as she sat up on her bed with a small grunt."I'm better, I can barely feel anymore pain!" She added excitedly.Her smile slowly shrinked as she noticed she was getting the same energy from Xander, he had a faraway look in his eyes and she could tell right away that everything wasn't okay."What's wrong?!" She asked in a whisper as he got to her bedside."You're stronger, " he whispered in reply instead."Yes I am, forget about me, why does your face look like this?!" She asked in a whisper and he immediately bent over her and pulled her into a tight hug."What's going on, you're scaring me Xander !" She whispered but he didn't say anything he just held onto her more tightly."Holy cow!" She exclaimed immediately she felt liquid on her back and Xander sniffles."Why the hell are you crying Xander, say something!" She
Killian's hand rested gently on Lyra's shoulder, providing a steady anchor amidst the storm of her emotions. His presence offered solace, a reminder that she was not alone in her grief. Jada knelt beside her, her own tears staining her cheeks, silently offering her support.Lyra looked up, her tear-streaked eyes meeting the compassionate gazes of her now best friend."I can't... I can't accept this," she choked out, her voice trembling with determination. "I won't believe that Marcus is gone. There has to be something we can do."Killian sighed, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and understanding. "Lyra, we've searched for answers. We've done everything we can. Marcus's death... it was sudden, unexpected. There was no time for goodbyes or explanations.""But you guys are wolves," Lyra insisted, her voice laced with desperation. "He's strong, resilient. There has to be a way to bring him back, to undo this loss."Jada reached out, cupping Lyra's face gently in her hands. "Lyra
"I'm sorry for your loss," Ethan whispered as he walked into the room and towards Lyra.Hazel and Xander had stepped out for a little while and Lyra had just woken up."Thank you," she replied in a whisper staring in space ."You should eat something now," Jada said as she walked towards Lyra with a tray of food."I'm not hungry," she replied curtly."You don't have to be hungry to eat, the nurses said you haven't had anything to eat" Jada cooed as she settled beside Lyra and tried to help her eat."I said I don't feel like eating anything, I'm really not in the mood," she replied curtly."Let me have it," Killian said as he took the tray from her and walked towards Lyra. "I'm not gonna eat, I've just told you!" She whispered, but he just ignored her and placed a small bed table over her bed and slowly placed the tray on it."Babe," he whispered as he slowly caressed her cheeks with his thumb."I know you want space, but can you please let me be in that space,""Let me support you Ly
