SHADOW PACKAs they got closer to shadow pack, Amanda's tension grew, she worried that she had made the wrong decision by following him to his pack. Even as she sat beside Drake in the car, her hands perspired and she felt like jumping out of the car and running all the way back to her pack. As if Drake could read her mind, he patted her hands as if to comfort her, Amanda found his gesture towards her both endearing and confusing as Drake hardly showed any emotion towards her. As Amanda and Alpha Drake stepped foot into the territory of the Shadow Pack, they were greeted by a resounding cheer from the pack members. The air buzzed with excitement and anticipation, yet Amanda couldn't help but notice the scepticism in their eyes. She understood their doubts, for there had never been any relationship between her pack, the blue moon pack, and the shadow pack based on what she could remember and all that her father told her.Amidst the jubilant celebration, Amanda felt a mixture of gratit
Amanda's sleep was restless, the weight of the day's events heavy on her mind. Tossing and turning in her own bed, she couldn't escape the loud and boisterous voices emanating from Drake's room. Laughter and conversation filled the air, both male and female voices intertwining in what seemed like an endless celebration.The noise grated on her nerves, only serving to heighten her frustration. She wondered if Alpha Drake was having such a loud party to annoy and frustrate her or if it was his usual lifestyle.After some hours had passed and the noise of Drake's room had subsided, exhaustion finally claimed her, but her dreams were far from peaceful. In her sleep, she found herself transported back to a time long gone when her mother and brother were still alive. The memories flooded her mind with images of how happy they were and how much they loved each other. She saw their radiant smiles, heard their laughter, and felt the warmth of their embrace.Her heart ached with longing as she
Drake emerged from the bathroom, his head throbbing with the remnants of the late-night revelry that had been his attempt to drown out the memories of Amanda. He had hoped that the alcohol would wash away the thoughts that tormented him, but instead, it seemed to fuel the fire of longing deep within his soul.As he staggered towards his bed, his vision blurred with the remnants of his intoxicated state; he was taken aback by the sight that greeted him. A scantily clad woman lay sprawled across his sheets, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Anger surged within Drake, fueled not only by the intrusion into his personal space but also by the reminder of the woman he truly desired, the one who kept irking him."What the hell are you doing here?" Drake's voice bristled with irritation, his patience worn thin by the echoes of Amanda's name that haunted his mind. He crossed his arms, the scent of alcohol lingering on his breath as he glared at the unwelcome presence in his bedroom.The
After the heated argument between Amanda and Alpha Drake, an invisible barrier seemed to have formed between them. They chose to distance themselves from each other, each consumed by their own thoughts and responsibilities. Alpha Drake threw himself into his duties as the leader of the Shadow Pack, ensuring the safety and prosperity of his pack members. He focused on maintaining order, settling disputes, and strengthening alliances with neighboring packs. His days were filled with important meetings, training sessions, and patrols, leaving little time for personal matters. Drake had immersed himself in work, hardly taking time off for himself. Meanwhile, Amanda found herself growing more curious about the enigmatic Shadow Pack. She yearned to understand the dynamics of the pack, its history, and the true nature of its members. As she decided to explore more into the territory of Alpha Drake's pack, she couldn't help but feel a higher sense of awe and curiosity. The air around the p
ROGUE ATTACKAmanda, completely absorbed in her quest for knowledge, moved gracefully through the underbrush. Since her encounter in the lake, she spent most of her free hours in the woods hoping to solve more mysteries. She also loved to listen to nature and it was where her wolf Sienna mostly felt at home, and since she was not handed any tasks to fulfill as the Luna of the shadow pack by Alpha Drake yet, she decided to spend more time alone in the solace only nature could afford.The silence of the forest was broken only by the soft rustle of leaves beneath her feet.Unbeknownst to her, a rogue wolf lurked in the shadows, observing her every move. This rogue, driven by his own twisted motives, saw an opportunity to assert dominance and sow chaos within the packs. With a fierce glint in his eyes, he lunged at Amanda, his intentions clear.Amanda's instincts kicked in, her years of training and her natural grace intertwining as she swiftly dodged the rogue's initial attack. With a q
YOU ARE A SUSPECTAmanda ignored Drake's remark; she hated that She had needed his help and wished she had taken down the rogue before he arrived. With Drake, she felt she had to always prove that she was capable and not a damsel in distress. “What will be done to him.” she pointed at the almost lifeless rogue; still in its wolf form, its furs had a lot of scars around them.“The guards would take care of that.” Alpha Drake said and started walking away.Amanda gave the rogue wolf a hard kick against its belle, causing it to growl in pain.As they moved some distance in silence, Amanda spoke as some thought crept into her mind. "How did you know I was here? How did you know I was under attack?"Drake did not stop walking, but, his mind drifted back to the moment of urgency that had compelled him to come to Amanda's aid. He took a deep breath; his voice tinged with a hint of wonder. "It was...unexpected," he began, his tone indifferent. "I had a vision."Amanda's eyebrows furrowed in
LINGERINGAmanda gulped and nodded, her eyes fixated on Drakes; she felt spellbound by the moment. Drake was also lost in the moment, it was as if the world was waiting for them, slowly his eyes moved from her eyes to her lips, and without much thought, he caressed her lips. They stood face to face, the air thick with anticipation and unspoken desire. The weight of their connection hung in the space between them, palpable and electrifying. Amanda's breath hitched, her gaze locked with Alpha Drake's piercing eyes. The world around them faded into insignificance as they stood in that charged moment, each acutely aware of the undeniable attraction that had woven its way into their lives. It was a magnetic pull, an undeniable force that defied rationality and demanded their attention.Alpha Drake's voice, husky and laced with restrained longing, broke the silence. "Amanda..." His words were a mere whisper, heavy with unspoken promises and vulnerability.Her name on his lips sent a shiver
In the solitude of his chamber, Alpha William seethed. The image of Amanda slipping away from his grasp into the arms of Alpha Drake, haunted his thoughts, fueling his burning desire for revenge. His wounded pride and shattered dreams of being the Ultimate Alpha, a dream only being married to the only female Alpha(Amanda) would have gotten him. This pushed him to seek retribution, to rally others to his cause.His mind whirled with thoughts of reclaiming what he believed was rightfully his. Alpha William's thoughts twisted, weaving a narrative that painted Alpha Drake as a symbol of misfortune, a harbinger of darkness for their wolf territory. He saw an opportunity to exploit the doubts and fears of the other alphas, capitalizing on their concerns to rally support against his rival.With a resolve that bordered on obsession, Alpha William decided to call upon the other alphas, weaving a web of manipulation and half-truths to present Alpha Drake as a threat to their pack's stability.
EPILOGUEDays had slowly turned into weeks, and Amanda had gradually reacquainted herself with the rhythms of pack life. She had taken the rabbit she had rescued as her pet, however, Amanda started to notice some subtle strange things about the rabbit. Its eyes displayed a curious intelligence and an almost knowing gaze. But what truly startled her was when she heard the rabbit speak. For a moment, Amanda doubted her ears, wondering if her mind was playing tricks on her. The rabbit's speech seemed implausible, a fragment of her dreams seeping into reality. Yet, the undeniable truth remained that the rabbit had spoken to her.As days passed, Amanda couldn't shake the feeling that the rabbit was trying to convey something important. She had repeated dreams about the rabbit, and each time there was a plea for help. Intrigued, yet doubtful, Amanda couldn't keep these strange occurrences to herself. She knew she had to share it with Drake. And so, she confided in him about the talking rab
A sense of foreboding washed over Amanda as she emerged from the portal back into the heart of the Shadow Pack territory. But something was amiss. Her keen eyes, sharpened by her experiences, quickly noticed the signs. The pack grounds bore traces of recent turmoil. She saw scorch marks on the ground, snapped branches, and displaced soil - clear indicators of a struggle.Her heart raced as she ventured deeper into the territory. Anxiety knotted in her chest, and her thoughts spiraled into a whirlwind of confusion. Had the battle with Dimitri's forces reached their home during her absence? The mere thought sent a shiver down her spineAs she continued forward, the extent of the damage became clearer. Buildings bore the marks of fire and claws, yet strangely, the destruction seemed minimal. Amanda couldn't shake the feeling that something extraordinary had occurred in her absence. The damage, rather than a sign of defeat, hinted at a victorious transformation.She moved through the terr
As Amanda and Drake were preparing to leave the sorcerer's home, he stopped them abruptly and gently placed a hand on Amanda's stomach. In a calm but knowing tone, he shared that he could sense the presence of another wolf around her. This revelation immediately sent waves of concern through Amanda and Drake.Seeing their worry, the sorcerer hastened to reassure them, explaining there was no need to be afraid. The reason for Amanda's scent was not an intruder or a threat; it was because she was pregnant. For a brief moment, joy and happiness filled the room as the significance of this news settled in.However, their elation was soon tempered by their mission's weight and the dangers ahead. Drake, deeply concerned for Amanda's safety, made it clear that he couldn't allow her to proceed with the dangerous task that awaited them.The sorcerer acknowledged Drake's fears about Amanda embarking on this perilous journey, especially now that she was pregnant. He emphasized that it wouldn't be
Amanda had a dream where everything appeared magical and surreal. She wandered through a strange land where the moonlight illuminated everything, making it appear mysterious and beautiful. While exploring, she encountered a celestial being - the Moon Goddess, who was radiant and ethereal. Amanda was filled with awe and trepidation as she knelt before this divine presence, her voice trembling with emotion."Mother Goddess," Amanda began, her words echoing through the dreamlike expanse, "I'm asking you with all my heart to listen to me. Our wolf kingdom is in a terrible state. There's a war caused by a very mean wolf named Dimitri. Our lands are hurt, and our hearts are full of sadness."Amanda's voice was heavy with emotion as she pleaded, "We long for healing and peace to return to our lands. Our love for the kingdom surpasses the darkness that has befallen us. Please assist us in finding our way back to the harmony we once knew.”The Moon Goddess extended a hand, delicate and yet im
MY LUNA “Because of your father and his wife, and I am convinced that Cassandra was involved too, we stayed apart. I craved for you, My wolf went ballistic because of your rejection and I nearly caused unrepairable damage to my reputation and to the entire pack because of the vengeance in me. Today Jane, I promise to revenge for all the pain and atrocities your family has committed against you, and against us.” Alpha William said as he stormed Jane’s home, with Jane following closely behind. She feared he would do something drastic and might kill them all as she had never seen him so angry. As they approached her home and as soon as Cassandra saw Alpha William, she thought perhaps he had come to apologize and to ask her to become his luna. She ran to him but was disappointed when he shoved her aside totally ignoring her. He had one purpose, and it was to confront Jane's father, Dave. He found Dave in the corner of the room, a mix of surprise and apprehension on his face as the impos
WHAT THE HEART WANTSThe mating ceremony of Alpha Derek and Jane was in full swing. The arrangement and planning of the event had been orchestrated meticulously, with Cassandra and Evangeline taking the lead. They both seemed elated to see Jane being married off to Alpha Derek, the union was expected to help Cassandra get back to Alpha William.However, Jane's demeanor stood in stark contrast to that of her stepmother and her niece Cassandra. She wore a forced smile, her eyes betraying her lack of enthusiasm. While her family reveled in the joyful occasion, Jane's heart felt heavy, she could not shake off the feeling of doom that lingered in her heartAlpha Derek, only seemed interested in flirting with everyone both male and female, especially Jane. When he leaned in close, attempting to steal a kiss, but Jane turned her head away, rejecting his kiss. Her discomfort was evident, but Alpha Derek's persistence knew no bounds. He gripped her face firmly and kissed her forcefully taking
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS FATHERFollowing the breaking off of the engagement between Alpha William and Cassandra, Cassandra's emotions were a tempestuous whirlwind. She and her aunt were both angry and shocked at the turn of events and they both accused Jane of having a hand in it. even though Jane denied it they still held on to their belief claiming that Jane wanted Alpha William to herself.Cassandra's room had turned into her place of refuge, she refused to come out and stayed in her room crying, however, whatever she was going through did not stop her from using her makeup or making her hair because she still believed that alpha William might regret hurting her and come back to her so she had to keep up her good looks. "This is because of her! If Jane hadn't interfered, I would have been the Luna of Alpha William already!" She screamed as she walked back and forth, unable to stay still, her anger was clear in the way she paced her room and how she moved her hands in frustration.As
ON THE MISSIONAs the meeting drew to a close, the squad members dispersed, their paths diverging with a shared understanding of the grave mission before them. Each had a fierce determination kindling within them to safeguard their packs from the looming peril. Though anxiety and resolve intertwined within them, they stood united, bracing themselves for the enigmatic journey that lay ahead, even if it promised danger and the shadow of uncertainty.Alpha Drake's steady gaze held their attention. "Remember, we are the guardians of our packs. This mission is not just for us; it's for the safety and future of everyone we hold dear," he stated, his words like an oath etching their souls.A chorus of agreement echoed through the room. Maya, a fierce warrior stepped forward. "Alpha Drake, we pledge our unwavering allegiance. We stand united, and resolute in the face of whatever challenges may arise. Our packs will be protected."The sentiment was shared by others as well. "Our loyalty is to
The atmosphere was tense as Alpha Drake waited for Alpha Marcus to arrive. The plans had been carefully organized and the communication had been quick and positive. However, as time passed without any word from Marcus, Drake began to feel uneasy. The absence of response to his calls and messages only added to his worries.Alpha Drake and Amanda were in his bedroom together. Alpha Drake had begged Amanda to return to the room and forgive him for all the times he had wronged her. Amanda gladly accepted his apology. They were like two peas in a pod and never wanted to leave each other's side.The dim light reflected on the walls and created a peaceful atmosphere. They sat next to each other, finding solace in their closeness amidst Drake's worries. The room felt like a safe haven, providing a break from the troubles of their pack. Drake's expression was serious, his forehead furrowed with concern. As they sat together, a feeling of togetherness enveloped them like a cozy blanket. They re
