The Moon Bound Pack house stood sentinel among the trees, its weathered wooden walls blending seamlessly with the moonlight. The roof, a tangled mesh of branches and leaves, seemed a natural extension of the forest. Windows like gleaming eyes watched over the woods, their intricately carved shutters telling stories of the pack's history. A winding path, overgrown with wildflowers and herbs, led to the entrance, a massive wooden door adorned with a silver crescent moon that shone like a beacon. Inside, the air was thick with woodsmoke, fur, and a hint of magic, a testament to the pack's deep connection to the land. As Faris approached, a murmur of horror and surprise rippled through the pack, taunting whispers and commentary filling the air. But Faris remained focused, his gaze fixed on a single destination. As Faris arrived, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "Come in," a muffled voice replied. He hesitated, then entered. "Alpha Malvar, I've returned." He annou
In the Silvermoon Kingdom, midnight unveils a realm of mystical beauty and wonder. The sky is painted with hues of indigo and silver, as if the moon's gentle light has infused the darkness with a soft, ethereal glow. The stars twinkle like diamonds scattered across the velvet expanse, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming night flowers. A soft, silvery mist rises from the ground, casting an enchanting spell over the land. In this mystical hour, the veil between worlds grows whisper-thin, and the secrets of the unknown are at their loudest. Midnight in the Silvermoon Kingdom is a time of awe, mystery, and ancient lore, whispering secrets to those who dare to listen. But on this fateful night of dark convergence, midnight wore a sinister shroud. The sky turned a deep, bloody indigo, suffocating the land with an eerie, heavy gloom. The silver crescent moon hung low, like a ghostly scythe slashing across the sky, casting an unsettling glow that seemed to drain the land
“Why won't you believe me, Alpha Aleksander?” Alina pleaded, her frustration evident in her voice and stance as she stood before him in his office chamber. “I'm telling the truth, I swear it.” Aleksander sighed, his gaze finally leaving the paper in front of him as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So, this is what you've been pushing for? This is why you came here?” Alina's hand threaded through her hair, her anxiety heavy. “It's been three days since your father's visit, and I fear we're running out of time. I don't understand why you refuse to work with me.” Aleksander's expression remained skeptical, his voice firm. “I'll only consider it if you provide me with concrete proof, Alina. Anything less is just empty words.” Alina's frustration boiled over as she exclaimed, "How am I supposed to find proof?" Aleksander's response was firm and unyielding, "That's your problem, Alina. Bring me something tangible, and only then will I, Aleksander Stormgaze, bel
Aleksander's voice was firm but laced with stress as he addressed Ellaine, who stood before him, her head bowed and her body trembling with fear. "Speak, Beta." As he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temple, he heard faint whimpers and sat up straight. "Are you crying, Beta?" he asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. Ellaine's body crumpled, her knees hitting the floor as she begged, "Please, Alpha, forgive her and punish me instead!" Her voice cracked with emotion, her hands clasped together in a desperate plea. Aleksander stood up, Ellaine clinging to his legs. "Are you here to plead for your friend?" he asked, his tone softening. Through sobs, Ellaine revealed, "Alina is innocent! I started the rumor, Alpha!" Aleksander's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart racing with guilt. "Were you the presence I sensed in the forest that night?" he asked, his voice laced with fear and uncertainty. Ellaine's gaze met his, her sage green eyes filled with tears. "Yes, Alpha.

As the days to Nelson's parents memorial service got closer, his mood got sour. He didn't go to work and he avoided small talks. It was hard getting him to be open to me but I was there for him every step of the way. Just like a wife should.“Are you good?” I asked as he stood in front of me, dressed up in a three piece black suit. We were headed to the memorial service.His face which he tried so hard to still and become cold betrayed him. I could tell he was under so many pain, his eyes telling me what he'll never say.He would have had an eye bag. If I hadn't forced him to sleep, to rest, to eat and to talk to me about it feeling. It felt as if I was taking care of a child but I knew the mechanism of grief and I knew what it could make us be.“Yeah.” Nelson answered breathlessly, nodding his head vehemently.He's trying too hard to convince me that he is fine. But I know he isn't and I'm willing to take care of him until he gets better.I held his face, caressing his cheeks as our
CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE: WHEN WORDS FAILNELSON'S POV Lora isn't picking up her phone. After a few tries, it went straight to voicemail. I was still in my car, parked back at the club, my heart racing with worry. Where could she be? I know I have messed up, and I don't need anyone to tell me that. But I didn't mean to say what I said - it was a thoughtless remark made in a fit of rage. If only I could find her, I'd plead my case and make things right.After calling her one more time, with no answer, I leaned back in my seat, running my hands through my hair, eyes closed, trying to think of where she might be. And then it hit me - the one place she might go. My eyes snapped open as I whispered, "The beach."Without hesitation, I started my car and sped off towards the beach where we had gone after our picnic. It didn't take me long to arrive. I kicked off my shoes and approached the sandy shore, and that's when I saw her - Lora's figure, illuminated by the moonlight. I could hear her so
CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT: I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTERLORA'S POV As we stood in the shadowy corner, our breathing slowed. Just then, Nelson glanced to his left, and his face contorted in disgust and anger, an intensity I'd never seen before. His eyes darkened, and I could tell he was gritting his teeth. I felt a surge of fear; we were alone, and his expression made me worry he might hurt me."Nelson, what's wrong?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.I touched his hand, pinned to the wall, and felt his muscles tense beneath his white T-shirt."Wait here," Nelson said, before storming back into the club.I picked up my purse and his leather jacket, which had fallen during our encounter. He didn't expect me to wait alone in the dark, did he? I need to know what he is about to do, so I followed him.As I struggled to find Nelson in the crowded club, my eyes landed on a growing gathering near the dance floor. I prayed I wouldn't find him at the center of it.But my prayers went unanswered

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO: THE MOVIE NIGHTNELSON'S POV "I just don't understand, Adrian. Ever since our picnic outing, Lora's been acting strange. It's as if she wants to say something but can't bring herself to do so." I confided in Adrian, who sat across from me in my office. It has been days since our trip to the ocean, and Lora's behavior has changed dramatically. More different than I know her to be."How long has this been going on?" Adrian asked, his brow furrowed with concern that mirrored mine."A week. The change is so sudden, it's unsettling. Whenever I try to get her to open up, she brushes me off, and further probing only leads to arguments," I revealed, running my hands through my hair in frustration."Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable enough to share her concerns with you," Adrian suggested."I've tried everything to make her feel at ease, but she still won't budge. I'm worried," I admitted.Adrian's smug smile slowly emerged. "This can only mean one thing – you're in lov
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: FINDING PROOF “Why won't you believe me, Alpha Aleksander?” Alina pleaded, her frustration evident in her voice and stance as she stood before him in his office chamber. “I'm telling the truth, I swear it.” Aleksander sighed, his gaze finally leaving the paper in front of him as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So, this is what you've been pushing for?
