The guard's heavy footsteps echoed through the grand hall as he ushered the men into the throne room, where Alpha Axel sat upon his throne, a formidable figure with piercing eyes that seemed to weigh as as the souls of those who dared to meet his gaze.Alpha Damien, tall and imposing, stepped forward, his presence commanding attention. "Alpha Axel," he greeted respectfully, bowing his head. "I am Alpha Damien of the River Walkers pack."Alpha Axel inclined his head in acknowledgment. "Alpha Damien, what brings you and your men to my kingdom?"Damien's expression grew grave as he spoke. "My kingdom has been attacked and taken over by vampires. We barely escaped with our lives and a few of our men. I come to you seeking aid, Alpha Axel. I need your help to reclaim what is rightfully ours."Alpha Axel's brow furrowed in contemplation. "I sympathize with your plight, Alpha Damien. However, involving my pack in a war that does not concern us is a risk I am not willing to take."Damien's ey
Alpha Axel's phone buzzed urgently, interrupting his quiet evening. He glanced at the screen, his heart sinking at the sight of an unknown number. He answered cautiously. "Hello?""Axel, it's me, Brandon," came the strained voice on the other end."Brandon? What's wrong? Where are you?" Axel's mind raced with worry for his best friend."I've been captured by vampires, Axel. They are using me for their experiments. Please, you have to help me!"Axel's grip tightened on the phone. "I will be there, Brandon. Hang tight."As Axel ended the call, he wasted no time. He dialed another number, his Beta, Daniel.Daniel's phone rang, and he answered immediately, his voice filled with concern. "Axel, what's going on?""Brandon's was truly captured by vampires and we need to act fast," Axel explained, urgency lacing his words."I am on my way," Daniel replied without hesitation.Meanwhile, Alpha Damien was deep in thought, contemplating the challenges of reclaiming his kingdom from a rival pack.
The dimly lit room was filled with tension as Racheal paced back and forth, her nerves tensed with worry. Her mother sat in an armchair nearby, watching her daughter with a mix of concern and empathy."Racheal, sweetheart, you need to try to calm down," her mother urged gently, her voice a soothing melody amidst the chaos of Racheal's thoughts."But Mom, Axel is out there, in the middle of all that madness," Racheal replied, her voice tight with anxiety. "What if he doesn't make it back this time?"Her mother sighed, her gaze softening with understanding. "I know it is so hard, dear, but you have to trust that he knows what he's doing. He's been through worse before."Racheal stopped her pacing, her hands trembling as she wrung them together. "But what if this time is different? What if something goes wrong?"Her mother rose from her chair, crossing the room to embrace her daughter in a comforting hug. "We can't control what happens out there, Racheal. All we can do is have faith and
Racheal heard a soft but insistent knock on the door, pulling her away from the pages of her worn-out book. She rose from her armchair, curious about the visitor. As she reached for the doorknob, her heart fluttered with anticipation and uncertainty.Opening the door, Racheal was met with the sight of Davina, whom she hadn't seen in weeks. Without a moment's hesitation, Davina enveloped Racheal in a tight embrace, her warmth washing away any lingering doubts or reservations."Racheal, I'm so sorry I didn't call ," Davina murmured, her voice laced with genuine regret. "Things have been... complicated."Racheal smiled, relief flooding her face. "It's okay, Davina. I'm just glad to see you."Davina's gaze shifted, a mix of curiosity and concern flickering in her eyes. "And... our mother? How is she?" "She's in the greenhouse, as always," Racheal replied softly. "Let's go see her together."As they made their way to the greenhouse, the air thick with anticipation, Racheal couldn't help
Hillary sat nervously on the edge of the kitchen counter , glancing over at her sister Racheal who was looking at her keenly.Hilary hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. Finally, she mustered up the courage to say what had been weighing on her heart for so long. "I... I'm not attracted to boys, Racheal. I've known it for a while now, but I've been too scared to say anything."Racheal's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she quickly composed herself and took her sister's hand gently. "Hilary, there's nothing wrong with you. You should never be afraid to be yourself, no matter what."Hearing her sister's comforting words, tears began to well up in Hilary's eyes. "I'm just so scared of how Mom might react. I don't want her to be disappointed in me."Racheal shook her head, a determined look on her face. "We'll face this together, Hilary. If you want, I can help you talk to Mom. We can explain that it doesn't change who you are."Hilary's face finally brightened with
Alpha Axel and Alpha Damien arrived at the palace, their faces grim with the weight of the battle they had just fought. As they entered the grand halls, they were met with the sight of wounded soldiers being rushed to the royal infirmary. The doctor emerged from the infirmary, his expression somber as he approached the Alphas."I'm sorry, Alpha Axel, Alpha Damien," he said, his voice heavy with sorrow. "Brandon didn't make it. He died from his injuries."The news hit the Alphas hard, but they knew they had to stay strong for their pack. They nodded in acknowledgment before turning their attention to Daniel, who lay unconscious on a stretcher.As Daniel was taken into the infirmary, Alpha Damien couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He had promised to protect his pack, but he had failed to save Brandon. The weight of his failure weighed heavily on his shoulders as he followed Daniel into the infirmary.Inside, the doctor worked tirelessly to save Daniel's life. But as the hours pas
The soft knock on the door pulled Rachael's attention away from her thoughts, and she looked up to see the maid standing in the doorway, her hands clasped nervously."Luna Rachael, Arya is here," the maid said, her voice barely above a whisper.Rachael nodded. "Thank you, please bring her in."The maid bowed slightly and disappeared, returning moments later with Arya trailing behind her. Arya's face was etched with worry as she stepped into the room, her eyes immediately locking onto Rachael."Rachael, what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Arya asked, her voice tinged with concern.Rachael smiled softly, unconsciously rubbing her small baby bump. "Yes, Arya, everything is fine. Come, have a seat."As Arya settled into a chair, her eyes never leaving Rachael's face, she couldn't help but voice her worries. "Are you sure? You seem tense. Is it the baby?"Rachael shook her head, reaching out to grasp Arya's hand. "No, the baby is fine. It's... it's Daniel."Arya's breath caught in her throa
Racheal groaned as she sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes sleepily. She glanced over at Alpha Axel, who was already dressed in an all-black suit, looking somber and serious."Where are you going?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep."It's Brandon's burial today," Alpha Axel replied quietly, his gaze distant. Racheal felt a pang of sympathy for him, knowing how close they had been. But she also felt a wave of anxiety wash over her at the thought of attending a funeral. She hated funerals, the sadness and finality of them always left her feeling drained and depressed."I...I don't think I can go," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm feeling sick."Alpha Axel turned to her, his eyes softening as he reached out to cup her cheek. "That's okay, sweetheart. I understand. You stay here and rest. I'll be back soon."He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before standing up and heading towards the door. Racheal watched him go, feeling a mix of guilt and
