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,

    The warriors stood in neat rows, their weapons secured, their faces set with determination. Mike walked along the front, his gaze steady as he addressed them.“This is it,” he began, his voice firm. “Tom has taken too much from us already. Tonight, we take the fight to him. Remember, we fight as one. Watch each other’s backs. No one fights alone.”A murmur of agreement rippled through the group, and Jessica stepped up beside me.“Think they’re ready for this?” she asked, her tone low.“They have to be,” I replied.Mike finished his speech and turned to the group of leaders, motioning for us to follow him to the strategy table. A map of the area was spread out, marking Tom’s stronghold and the route we would take to get there.“We’ll split into three groups,” Mike explained, pointing to the map. “The first group will take the western flank. Jessica, that’s yours.”“Got it,” she said with a sharp nod.“Lola,” Mike continued, his gaze meeting mine, “you’ll take the second group through t

    Lola adjusted her leather armor and glanced around. Warriors whispered strategies, tightening grips on their weapons. The air carried the faint scent of damp leaves and the distant rustle of wind through the forest. Despite the whispers, all eyes kept darting to the east, where the enemy was expected.Mike’s voice broke the stillness. “Listen up!”Everyone fell silent, turning their attention to their Alpha. His tall frame towered over the group, his voice steady and firm.“Tom’s forces are moving fast. We will not let them reach our packhouse. We cut them off here, at the border.”A murmur of agreement went through the crowd, but Lola’s chest was more hardened. She wasn’t afraid of the fight—she was afraid of failure. Jessica stood beside her, nudging her shoulder.“Don’t worry. We’ve faced worse,” Jessica said, though her tone didn’t carry much confidence.Mike continued, “Lola, Jessica, you’re with me. Vex, you lead the left flank. Marcus, take the right.”Each group moved into pos

    Jessica approached from behind, her steps careful. “Lola, you should rest.” I turned to face her, noticing the cuts and bruises scattered across her face. I shook my head. “There’s too much to think about. Rest can wait.” She gave me a tired smile. “There’s always too much to think about, but that doesn’t mean you can keep going like this. Come on. Mike wants to see you.” Reluctantly, I followed her back toward the packhouse. The smell of damp earth clung to the air, mixed with the faint metallic tang of blood. I avoided looking at the ground too much—there were too many reminders of what had just transpired. When we reached the main hall, Mike was standing by the window, staring out at the horizon. His broad shoulders were tense, his posture stiff. For a moment, I hesitated, unsure if I should interrupt. “You’re here,” Mike said without turning around, his voice low. “Yes,” I replied, stepping further into the room. Jessica lingered by the door before quietly excusing h

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The quiet hum of the packhouse was a stark contrast to the chaos inside me. Even though we had spent the last few days planning, preparing, and strategizing, there was still an undeniable tension in the air. Everyone seemed to sense it—the heavy feeling that something was coming, something that none of us fully understood.It wasn’t just the shadow that was weighing us down anymore. It was everything. The future felt uncertain, and for the first time, I wasn’t sure if we would make it through this fight.“Lola,” Mike said, his voice cutting through my thoughts. I turned to find him standing at the door to my room, his expression serious.“What’s going on?” I asked, feeling my nerves tighten. There was something in his gaze that I couldn’t place.“There’s someone here,” he said, stepping into the room. “A new ally—or at least, they claim to be.”I frowned. “A new ally?”Mike nodded. “They’re waiting in the main hall. They say they have information about the shadow. Something that could

    I spent most of my time with Mike, Marcus, and Jessica, making sure our plans were solid and that everyone was ready. But no matter how much we prepared, a part of me couldn’t shake the feeling that it wouldn’t be enough. There were too many unknowns, too many things we couldn’t control.Mike had always been the one to hold things together, but I could see it—he was getting worn down. His calm demeanor, that strength he always showed, was starting to show cracks. He wasn’t saying anything, but I could see it in his eyes. The weight of everything was too much for one person, even him.That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands.I found myself standing at the edge of the packhouse one evening, watching the sun dip below the horizon. The quiet of the moment was a rare thing these days. The pack was busy, preparing for what was ahead, but I couldn’t focus on the plans anymore. I couldn’t focus on anything except the feeling of being trapped in this uncertainty.“Lola?”I turn

    The morning sunlight streamed into the war room, making the maps and papers on the table, Marcus and Jessica talked about strategies. He looked calm on the surface, but I knew him well enough to see the tension in his jaw and the stiffness in his shoulders. He was carrying the weight of everything—our pack, our survival, and now, this new threat we had unleashed. As I stood quietly by the doorway, Mike caught my eye. His sharp gaze softened for just a second, and he motioned for me to come over. I obeyed without hesitation, my boots echoing softly against the wooden floor as I walked to his side. “Lola,” Mike said in a low voice. “I need to talk to you. Let’s step outside for a minute.” I nodded, ignoring the curious glances from Jessica and Marcus as I followed him out of the room. We walked down the hallway in silence until we reached his office. Once inside, Mike closed the door firmly behind us. He leaned back against it, folding his arms across his chest. “You’ve been qu
