Deadly Alpha Battle The Hunter’s Wrath
The journey back to the packhouse was anything but calm. With the black crystal in Lola’s hands, the forest around them seemed to come alive, every shadow stretching and twisting as if watching their every move.Mike walked beside her, his expression sharp and his senses heightened. Jessica followed close behind, her daggers drawn and her eyes darting around the clearing. The other warriors flanked them, forming a protective circle as they moved swiftly through the dense underbrush.“Do you feel that?” Jessica asked, her voice low but tense.“Yes,” Mike said curtly. “We’re being followed.”Lola clutched the crystal tighter, its cold surface pulsing faintly against her palm. “What do we do?”“We keep moving,” Mike replied. “If they attack, we fight. But right now, the priority is getting the relic back to the packhouse.”Jessica nodded, her grip on her weapons tightening. “Let’s just hope they don’t bring friends.”The sound of snapping branches echoed through the forest, followed by a

The packhouse loomed in the distance, its familiar silhouette a relief against the darkened horizon. Lola’s steps were unsteady, and every muscle in her body ached. She glanced down at the black crystal, its faint glow subdued but still unsettling. Whatever power it held, it had saved them, but at a cost they were yet to fully understand.Mike walked ahead of the group, his shoulders tense and his eyes scanning the area. Jessica and Marcus followed closely, whispering about the attack in hurried tones.“Do you think Tom knew we’d find it?” Jessica asked, her voice low but serious.“I don’t think he expected us to leave with it,” Marcus replied. “Not alive, anyway.”Lola stayed silent, her thoughts heavy. She had been part of battles before, but the overwhelming odds and the grotesque creature they’d faced still lingered in her mind. This wasn’t just about strength or strategy—it was about something far darker.“Everyone inside,” Mike ordered as they reached the packhouse gates. “We ne

I sat by the edge of the training grounds, watching as pack members scrambled to secure the area. They were tense, their movements swift and efficient, but their eyes betrayed their unease.I glanced toward Lola, who stood next to Mike, her face set in a determined expression. She had fought well during the chaos, but something about the way she moved now felt… different. There was an edge to her, a strength I hadn’t seen before.“Jessica,” a voice called from behind me.I turned to see Marcus approaching, his steps deliberate. His sword was still strapped to his back, a faint line of blood tracing its edge.“What is it?” I asked, standing to meet him.“Mike’s called for a council meeting,” Marcus said, his expression grim. “They want us inside.”The council room was packed when we entered. The tension was palpable as everyone took their seats. Mike stood at the head of the table, his arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over each of us.“We don’t have time to dwell on what happened,” he b

The scroll with the map weighed heavily in my hands as we walked back to the packhouse. The air between us was quiet, not with peace but with unease. Jessica, Marcus, and I exchanged occasional glances, but no one spoke. The map had changed everything, and we all knew it. “What do you think the Heartstone is?” Jessica finally broke the silence, her voice soft but curious. “Something important enough for Tom to send his witches after,” Marcus replied. “It’s not just important,” I added, gripping the scroll tightly. “It’s powerful. Tom doesn’t chase after things that don’t give him an advantage.” Jessica sighed. “Great. Another weapon in his hands is exactly what we need.” I stopped walking and turned to face them. “We can’t let him get it. Whatever this Heartstone is, we need to find it first.” Marcus nodded. “Agreed. But we’re running on limited time. If we’re going to act, it has to be now.” “We’ll present this to Mike,” I said, starting to walk again. “He’ll know what

The sound of footsteps echoed through the empty hallways, each step a reminder of how alone I was. It had been days since the last battle, and everything was still. Too still. The tension in the air was thick, almost suffocating. We had won the fight, but something was telling me the war wasn’t over yet.I pushed the door open and stepped into the dimly lit room, the scent of old wood and dust filling the air. My eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness, scanning the corners for any signs of movement. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the old house’s creaking walls.“Hello?” My voice was small, barely a whisper. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be heard. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting to find.I moved toward the desk, its surface covered with maps and old books. The clutter of the room made it look like it hadn’t been touched in years, yet the way the items were arranged suggested that someone was still coming in here regularly. There was something unsettling about it. So

The forest was quiet after the battle, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that we weren’t safe yet. The rogues had retreated, their growls echoing as they melted back into the trees, but Tom’s shadow loomed over us. It wasn’t over. It never seemed to be over. Mike walked ahead, his broad shoulders stiff with tension. Jessica was beside me, her breath coming in short bursts as she cleaned her daggers. "Are you okay?" I asked, my voice low. She nodded, though her eyes betrayed her worry. "Fine. Just tired of feeling like we’re always one step behind." I couldn’t argue. The weight of the crystal in my pouch felt heavier with each step. It pulsed faintly, almost as though it had a heartbeat of its own. "We need to keep moving," Mike said, his voice cutting through the silence. "The packhouse isn’t far, but we’re not out of the woods yet." "No pun intended," Jessica muttered, earning a faint smirk from me. We pushed forward, the forest closing in around us. Every snap of a twig

The silence in the packhouse was sharp, like the blade of a dagger pressed against the skin. Mike had called for another meeting, and the entire council sat in tense anticipation. My fingers tapped the wooden table in front of me, the rhythm steady, the only outlet for the storm brewing in my mind. Selene’s words from the coven replayed over and over. *“A life for a life.”* It wasn’t just cryptic—it was horrifying. Who would make such a sacrifice? And what if we couldn’t find another way? Mike stood at the head of the table, his presence commanding. “We now know what the witches told us. The crystal can be used to seal Tom’s power, but it requires blo

Jessica broke the silence, her voice sharp but quiet. “She was bluffing. She has to be.” “She wasn’t,” Mike said firmly, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. “Whatever we just killed… it was only part of the problem.” Vex, as usual, lingered on the edge of our group, his expression unreadable. “Killing her wasn’t about ending the fight,” he said. “It was about slowing Tom down.” “Slowing him down?” I repeated, my frustration bubbling. “You said she was fueling his power. If she’s dead,

Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The packhouse was quiet, but the heavy air was filled with tension. After sealing the gateway, everyone was tired, but sleep didn’t come easy. I sat near the window, looking out at the dark forest. The ruins might be safe for now, but Alaric’s threat still hung over us like a storm cloud. Footsteps echoed behind me. Mike’s steady voice broke the silence. "You can’t sleep, can you?" I shook my head. "Too much going on in my mind." He came closer and stood beside me. "We made progress today. We sealed the gateway." "For now," I said softly. "Alaric isn’t finished. I saw it in his eyes. He’ll come back." Mike’s jaw clenched. "Then we’ll be ready for him." I sighed. "But what if we aren’t ready?" Mike reached for my hand, his touch warm and steady. "We’ll be ready," he promised. Before I could respond, there was a loud knock on the door. Zara’s voice came through. "Lola, Mike. Come quickly. You need to see this." Mike and I exchanged worried looks before heading to the d
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The night stretched long and heavy, every shadow outside the packhouse feeling thicker than before. Alaric’s presence lingered in my thoughts, a reminder that danger was closer than ever. I sat by the window, watching the trees sway in the faint breeze, the eerie stillness unsettling in a way that made my skin prickle. Mike stood by the door, his arms crossed, his eyes locked on the darkness outside. "He’s watching," he said quietly. "I can feel it." Zara, sitting on the couch with her knees drawn up to her chest, nodded. "He doesn’t seem like the type to walk away that easily." I exhaled slowly, pushing away the tension creeping up my spine. "We can’t let him control the narrative. We have to get ahead of him before he finds a way to use the ruins against us." Dorian, who had remained quiet most of the evening, finally spoke. "Alaric doesn’t just manipulate power. He manipulates people. He knows how to twist thoughts, how to sow doubt. If you let him get too close, he’ll turn
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The ruins stood silent in the aftermath of our confessions, their glow fading but still pulsing with an unsettling energy. The air around us carried an oppressive weight, as if the stones themselves were holding their breath, waiting. "We did what it wanted," Zara said, her voice low, cautious. "So why doesn't it feel like enough?" Mike rubbed the back of his neck, his expression tense. "Because it's not. This is just the beginning." Dorian stepped closer, his presence like a shadow creeping in from the edges. "The ruins have acknowledged your fears, but acknowledgment isn't action. You need to be ready for what comes next." Marcus scoffed, crossing his arms. "And what exactly is coming next, Dorian? More riddles?" Dorian's lips curled into an unsettling smirk. "Not riddles, Marcus. Consequences." A sharp gust of wind swept through the clearing, rustling the trees in a way that set every nerve in my body on edge. It wasn’t natural. It felt... purposeful. Then I heard it.
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The ruins stood before us, shrouded in an eerie stillness that sent a shiver down my spine. The air was thick, heavy with something unspoken, something ancient. I could see the faint glow of the markings carved into the stones—symbols that seemed to pulse with an energy that made my skin crawl. Mike stood beside me, his jaw clenched, his eyes scanning the area with sharp focus. "It's different," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. Zara crouched down, tracing a symbol with her fingers, her brows furrowed in concentration. "They've shifted," she said. "These weren’t like this before. It’s almost like... they're reacting to something." Dorian stood a few feet away, observing us with his usual detached expression. "The ruins are alive," he said calmly, as if stating a fact we should already know. "They respond to the balance between realms. And right now, that balance is crumbling." I swallowed hard, my gaze locked onto the strange patterns carved into the stone. "What
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The weight of Dorian’s words hung over the packhouse like an invisible storm cloud, thick and suffocating. The murmurs of the pack barely registered in my mind as I stood by the window, staring out into the darkened forest. Somewhere out there, beyond the trees and the shadows, the source loomed, waiting. Mike’s presence was a steady warmth behind me, his fingers grazing my shoulder. “You’ve been quiet,” he murmured, his voice low enough that only I could hear. I let out a slow breath, leaning against him. “I’m just… trying to make sense of it all. The sacrifice he mentioned… what if it’s something we can’t afford to give?” Mike’s grip tightened, grounding me. “We’ll figure it out, Lola. We always do.” But I wasn’t so sure this time. This wasn’t just a rogue enemy or an invading force. This was something beyond us—something ancient and unrelenting. The idea of a ‘sacrifice’ gnawed at me, filling my chest with unease. A knock on the door interrupted our moment. Zara stepped i
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The morning sun filtered through the windows, casting a soft glow across the packhouse. It was a quiet morning, but the weight of what we had learned hung heavily over us. After everything that had happened—the fight, Dorian’s cryptic words, the talk of sacrifices—we knew that the worst was far from over.Mike was beside me as we sat at the kitchen table, the pack gathered around in quiet discussion. The usual sounds of clinking mugs and light chatter were absent. Instead, the tension in the room was palpable. Everyone was on edge, waiting for someone to make the next move."Alright," Mike said, breaking the silence, "We need to figure out our next step. We’ve got limited time, and the longer we wait, the worse it’ll get."I nodded. "Dorian's right about one thing. We can’t fight this head-on. We need a plan that can buy us time. But what kind of sacrifice is he talking about?"“Maybe the sacrifice isn’t just a life,” Zara spoke up from across the room. "Maybe it's more than just one
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The atmosphere in the packhouse felt heavier than usual. We were all trying to process the events that had just unfolded, but there was a lingering tension in the air that wouldn’t go away. Dorian’s words about the source, the balance, and the sacrifice kept replaying in my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking about what was coming and what we were going to have to do.Mike stood beside me, his hand lightly holding mine. His grip was strong, but there was an edge to his expression that I hadn’t seen before. I knew he was trying to stay calm for both of us, but the uncertainty in his eyes told me he was just as worried as I was.“I don’t know what we’re up against,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “But it’s bigger than anything we’ve faced before.”Mike nodded, squeezing my hand. “We’ll figure it out. We always do.”I wanted to believe him. I needed to believe him. But the more I thought about Dorian’s words, the more unsettled I felt. The source wasn’t just a dark force or some kin
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The clearing around us was alive with tension. The shadows had been vanquished, but there was no sense of relief in the air. Instead, a thick silence hung heavily, broken only by the heavy breaths of our pack. We had survived, but the victory felt hollow.I stood amidst the ruins, the ground still trembling from the power unleashed moments before. The shadow had recoiled, but its grip remained, lingering in the edges of my thoughts, my every movement. We had pushed back the darkness, but I knew it wasn’t over.Mike stood next to me, his hand gripping mine tightly, but there was no comfort in the touch. His eyes were locked on the horizon, watching as the last vestiges of the shadow faded into the night. His expression was hard, unreadable.“It’s not over,” he muttered, his voice rough. The weight of his words hung between us like a storm cloud.“I know,” I replied, my own voice laced with unease. My gaze swept over the pack—Marcus, Jessica, and the others were scattered, recovering fr
Deadly Alpha Battle Lola’s POV
The clearing was darker than before. The air felt thicker, and I could feel something wrong. It wasn’t just the guardians we were facing anymore. There was something more, something deeper, hiding in the shadows. I could feel it pressing on me, making my skin tingle with unease. The guardians kept coming, their glowing eyes and twisted bodies blocking our way. They were relentless. They were everywhere, each more dangerous than the last. Mike fought at my side, moving fast and striking with precision, but there were too many. Every time we defeated one, another appeared to take its place. It was like a never-ending cycle of fear and violence.“Mike!” I shouted, ducking to avoid a strike from a guardian. “We can’t keep this up. There are too many of them!” “I know,” Mike replied through clenched teeth, his eyes flashing with determination. “But we don’t have a choice. We keep fighting, or we die here.” I glanced around, my mind racing for a solution. But there was no way out. The
