Chapter 20: The False Mate

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-30 01:01:16

The tension in the pack house had settled into an uneasy rhythm. Every member of Crestmoon prepared in their own way for the inevitable confrontation with Amelia. Olivia was learning to harness her magic, Ralph was reinforcing their defenses, and the pack as a whole seemed more united than ever.

But peace is always fragile, and on an otherwise ordinary morning, it shattered.

A visitor arrived at the pack house one whose presence sent shockwaves through Crestmoon. A young woman stood at the entrance, her long blond hair shimmering in the sunlight and her pale blue eyes scanning the faces around her. She was strikingly beautiful, exuding confidence and elegance that immediately drew attention.

Ralph stepped forward, his brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance. “Who are you, and what are you doing on my territory?”

The woman tilted her head, a small smile playing on her lips. “My name is Cassandra,” she said smoothly, her voice carrying an air of authority. “And I’m here becaus

    The atmosphere in Crestmoon remained tense after Cassandra’s arrival. Whispers filled the halls, and Olivia couldn’t ignore the way some pack members avoided her gaze. Though Ralph had reassured her, doubt lingered among the wolves. Cassandra’s claim had planted seeds of uncertainty, and it was clear her visit had been strategic. “She’s trying to divide us,” Olivia said to Caroline as they sat in the library that morning. Caroline nodded, flipping through a weathered book. “That’s what Amelia does best strike at the foundation and let the cracks grow. You need to stay strong, Olivia. This is a test, and not just for you. It’s for Ralph, too.” Olivia sighed, leaning back in her chair. “I know. But what if Cassandra has help? What if someone in the pack is working with her?” Caroline looked up sharply, her eyes narrowing. “Why do you think that?” “Because it feels like she knew too much,” Olivia admitted. “She came here confident and prepared. She knew how to push just the rig

    Hera awoke with a pounding headache. She blinked, looking for attention. The odor of pine and dust stuffed her nose. Where was she? How did she get right here? Her thoughts turned into clean – she could not take into account anything. Slowly, she sat up, her entire body aching. She changed into a small timber room with sunlight streaming through a window. The bed felt gentle however strange. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in," Hera stated quietly. The door opened, and a tall, muscular guy with inexperienced eyes and darkish hair walked in. Hera's heart skipped a beat. Even feeling awful, she could not stop noticing how good-looking he was. "You're unsleeping," he said in a deep voice that gave her goosebumps. "How are you feeling?" Hera swallowed tough. "I'm not positive. Where am I? Who are you?" The man seemed concerned. "You're in Crestmoor Pack. I'm Ralph, the Alpha. We determined you harm at the brink of our land. Do you don't forget anything?" Hera shook her head, fee

    The sun turned barely up, however, Hera was already in the kitchen. She hadn't slept, her mind racing with the mind of Ralph and the brand new lady, Olivia. Making breakfast was her manner of feeling beneficial when she felt she had so little to offer. As she stirred a pot of oatmeal, she heard familiar footsteps. "Morning," Ralph's deep voice made her heart skip. "You're up early." Hera managed a small smile. "Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd make myself useful." Ralph seemed worried, however before he could speak, Olivia walked in. "Smells true," Olivia said, her eyes darting among them. The kitchen fell silent. Hera targeted at the oatmeal whilst Ralph shifted awkwardly. "Hera's an extraordinarily prepared dinner," Ralph said, attempting to interrupt the anxiety. Olivia raised an eyebrow. "I'm positive. Well, I'll be heading out after breakfast." Ralph's head snapped up. "You're leaving?" "That turned into the plan," Olivia shrugged. "I do not do the complete settling down co

    The complete moon day broke vibrant and clear. Hera woke early, her belly in knots. Tonight, the per cent could run collectively, and over again, she'd be left at the back. A tender knock on her door interrupted her mind. "Come in," she called. Jessica entered with all smiles. "Morning, sweetie. I delivered you something unique." She held out a small, ornate box. Hera took it, interest winning over her usual caution around Jessica. "What is it?" Hera requested. Jessica's eyes sparkled. "Open it and see." Inside turned into a delicate silver necklace with a moonstone pendant. Hera gasped. "It's stunning," she whispered. "Wear it tonight," Jessica said. "For success. Oh, and I nearly forgot!" She pulled out an envelope. "This came for you. From Ralph." Hera's heart raced as she took the letter. "Thanks, Jessica." Alone, Hera eagerly opened the envelope. Inside became an observe in Ralph's handwriting: "Hera,Meet me at the old cottage close to the 's jap border this afternoo

    The forest turned eerily quiet as Olivia made her way through the dense undergrowth. Her senses were on excessive alert, every rustle of leaves making her jump. She'd been attempting to find hours, and nevertheless no sign of Hera. "Hera!" she called out, her voice echoing in the stillness. "Where are you?" A faint whimper caught her attention. Olivia's coronary heart raced as she followed the sound, pushing through a thick patch of trees. There, in a small clearing, she observed Hera. The sight made Olivia's blood run bloodless. Hera becomes light, her skin clammy, and her respiratory shallow. "Oh god, Hera," Olivia whispered, kneeling beside her. Hera's eyes fluttered open, unfocused and glassy. "Olivia ?" she mumbled. "Which one are you?" "I'm here," Olivia confides in her, lightly lifting Hera into her arms. "We want to get you somewhere secure." As Olivia carried Hera via the forest, the sky darkened ominously. Thunder rumbled within the distance, and fast raindrops starte

    A week had passed because of the beautiful activities within the cave, and Olivia became subsequently sturdy enough to go away to the infirmary. As she stepped out into the daylight, she felt exclusive – extra complete, yet overwhelmed by the flood of recollections and instincts that weren't her very own. Ralph was anticipating her, his face a mix of issue and interest. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Olivia took a deep breath, savouring the wealthy scents of the woodland. "Strange," she admitted. "It's like... Like I'm me, but more. Does that make any sense?" Ralph nodded, reaching out to take her hand. The touch sent a jolt through both of them, their mate bond more potent than ever. "We'll determine this out together," he promised. As they walked through the grounds, Olivia could experience the stares of other members. News of her transformation had unfolded quickly, and everyone became curious about what it meant for the per cent's destiny. "I want to discover ways t

    The sun hung low within the sky, casting long shadows over Crestmoon as Olivia paced outside the house. It had been days for the reason for disagreement with Amelia, and whilst they had controlled to push her back, Olivia’s thoughts were nonetheless spinning. The merging with Hera had made her extra powerful, and more complete, but it also left her feeling torn. Her magic, now coursing through her veins alongside her wolf instincts, made her stand out in ways she wasn’t equipped for. "Olivia?" Ralph’s deep voice broke through her thoughts. She grew to look at him standing at the entrance, a challenge etched across his robust functions. His dark eyes, typically so regular and calm, have been packed with fear. She compelled a smile. "I’m first-class, simply thinking." He stepped closer, the warmth of his presence immediately soothing her. "You don’t look excellent. You’ve barely slept since the combat. Talk to me." She desired to. She desired to inform him the whole lot—the worry, t

    The morning sun barely pierced the thick canopy of trees surrounding Crestmoon territory, leaving a relaxation within the air. Olivia stood at the brink of the education area, watching as members ran through their morning drills. Her thoughts changed into miles away, misplaced inside the typhoon of uncertainty that had gripped her ever on account of Jessica’s traumatic revelation. Immortality, blood rituals, hidden curses—it all appeared an excessive amount for her to address. She absentmindedly traced her hands over the amulet striking around her neck, a reminder of her newfound electricity. But that energy felt foreign, like a heavy cloak she hadn’t quite found out to put on. She turned out to be Crestmoon's Luna, their protector, but all she felt became weak points and doubt. "Hey," a smooth voice interrupted her mind. Olivia turned to look at Caroline drawing near, her expression careful, however. There has been an uneasy anxiety among them since the activities that opened up

    The battle in the cave had drained Olivia, but the sense of victory was fleeting. Even as she and Ralph returned to the pack house, the lingering shadows of what they had faced haunted her. She had unlocked a power she barely understood, severed an ancient bond, and held her own against guardians older than her bloodline. But the real fight, the one against Amelia, still loomed on the horizon. The pack house was quiet when they arrived. The other wolves greeted them with a mix of relief and curiosity, their eyes flickering to the Lunar Dagger in Ralph’s hands. Olivia could see the unspoken questions in their expressions. What had happened in the forest? What had Olivia discovered? She wasn’t ready to answer any of them not yet. Caroline was waiting in the library, her sharp gaze scanning Olivia the moment she walked in. “You look like you’ve been through hell,” she said bluntly. “We have,” Ralph replied, setting the dagger on the table between them. “But we got what we needed.”

    The growls of the ancient guardians echoed through the cave, reverberating off the stone walls. Olivia’s heart hammered in her chest as she stood frozen, her eyes darting between Ralph and the dark, shifting shadows closing in around them. The air felt heavy with magic dangerous, ancient, and powerful. The guardians’ forms were indistinct, made up of dark mist and swirling shadows that seemed to pulse with life. Their eyes glowed red as they circled the altar, their low growls sending a chill down Olivia’s spine. Ralph stepped in front of her, his body tense as he faced the guardians. His eyes glinted with determination, but Olivia could see the fear in his posture. They were outmatched. Even with the Lunar Dagger and all the power Olivia had inside her, they weren’t prepared for the sheer force of the guardians’ magic. “Stay behind me,” Ralph growled, his voice steady but low. “We have to make it out of here alive, Olivia.” Olivia’s pulse quickened as she clutched the vial in her

    The days passed in a blur of preparations. Ralph, Olivia, and the pack were on high alert, knowing that the time to face Amelia was drawing closer. Tensions ran high, and every pack member was preparing for the inevitable battle, but despite the efforts, a sense of foreboding lingered in the air. Every decision, every move, felt like it might be their last. Olivia couldn’t shake the feeling that they were running out of time. She spent her nights going over everything she had learned about Amelia’s ritual and trying to make sense of the cryptic warnings left in the ancient texts Caroline had discovered. The Lunar Dagger was their best chance, but there was so much she didn’t know about its power. “Olivia, you need to rest,” Ralph said, his voice laced with concern as he found her staring at the maps and scrolls in the pack house’s library. “We can’t keep going like this. You’ve been awake for days.” Olivia glanced up at him, her tired eyes betraying the determination she tried to

    The days following Ralph’s challenge and the pack’s newfound unity were filled with an uneasy peace. While the celebration of his victory still echoed in Crestmoon, the ever-looming threat of Amelia was never far from anyone’s mind. Olivia found herself staring out of the window more often than not, her thoughts drifting to what lay ahead. She had felt a deep sense of pride watching Ralph prove himself to the pack, but a part of her wondered if she was strong enough to face what was coming. The Lunar Dagger was in her possession now, but even with that powerful weapon, there was so much more she didn’t understand. The ritual Amelia was planning, the war she was preparing for it was all too much to process. Ralph noticed her quiet moments and, as always, was there when she needed him most. One evening, as they walked through the pack grounds under the glow of the rising full moon, Ralph turned to her, his voice soft but urgent. “Olivia, we need to talk.” She looked up at him, sens

    The air in the pack house was tense the next morning. News of Olivia retrieving the Lunar Dagger had spread quickly, and while many were impressed, it was clear that not everyone was pleased. Olivia could feel the weight of their stares as she walked through the halls.“What’s wrong with them?” Olivia asked Ralph, who stood beside her, his broad shoulders tense.Ralph’s jaw clenched as he looked at his pack members. “It’s not you, Olivia. It’s me. They’re questioning my ability to lead.”Olivia frowned. “Why? You’ve done everything to keep them safe.”

    The following morning dawned with a sense of quiet urgency. The tension from the Council’s ultimatum still lingered, but Olivia couldn’t dwell on it. There was too much to do, and too many questions still unanswered. Ralph had called a meeting with his most trusted pack members in the main hall. Olivia sat beside him, her posture straight even though her nerves buzzed. Caroline was among the attendees, her sharp eyes scanning the room. We need to talk about Amelia,” Ralph began, his voice steady but grim. “She’s not just gathering rogues; she’s planning something bigger. And if we don’t figure it out soon, we’ll be blindsided.” Mark, Ralph’s beta, leaned forward. “Do we have any leads? Any idea where she’s hiding or what she’s planning?” Ralph shook his head. “Not yet. But we know she’s been working on a ritual one that could make her nearly unstoppable.” The room fell silent, the weight of his words sinking in. Olivia felt a knot tighten in her stomach. She had seen Amelia’

    The morning began with an unexpected visit. Ralph stood on the porch of the pack house, his strong frame stiff as he watched the convoy of black SUVs approaching. The air carried a heavy sense of unease, and Olivia could feel it even before she joined him. “Who are they?” she asked, standing beside him. Ralph’s jaw clenched. “The Werewolf Council.” Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. The Council’s presence rarely meant good news. Known for their strict adherence to tradition and their ruthless enforcement of pack laws, they were a force that even the strongest Alphas respected or feared. As the cars came to a stop, four men and one woman stepped out, their expressions serious. The woman in the center, with sharp features and a commanding presence, was the first to speak. “Alpha Ralph,” she greeted, her voice cool. “May we come in?” Ralph nodded curtly. “Of course, Councilwoman Nadia.” Inside, the tension was palpable. The Council representatives sat stiffly in the meeting room, their
