"Ah, my little pet," Mason said, pulling a handcuffed Desmond forward. "Looks like he's been used as entertainment for that werewolf pack," he laughed without emotion. "Too bad he's now my little pet, and I have no intention of returning him." "Darius," the man, Desmond, whispered with a broken voice. He sounded broken. "My family?" he asked, and Darius replied, "Prius and Carla are here, fighting against the scum that is threatening their Luna's life." John's gaze flickered between Darius and the captive, his confusion palpable. He was about to voice his inquiry when Mason's voice cut through, demanding attention once more. "Enough with the sob stuff," Mason sneered, redirecting John's focus back to him. "So, the little lamb thinks he can challenge the big bad 'wolf'," Mason taunted, a smirk playing on his lips. John's eyes narrowed, a glint of defiance shining within them. "I've faced bigger threats than you," he declared, though uncertainty lingered beneath his bravado. Mason
Destined Journey Awake Amidst Loss
John hovered on the brink of consciousness, the persistent beep piercing through the fog of his mind, drawing him back from the depths of unconsciousness. Battling against heavy eyelids, he struggled to open them, confusion swirling within. With a determined effort, his eyelids fluttered apart, greeted by the glaring brightness of the room. The intense light assaulted his senses, compelling him to squint as he tried to orient himself. The walls gleamed with clinical whiteness, the scent of antiseptic triggering a sense of déjà vu. How did he end up here again? As his vision adjusted, he recognized the familiar sights of the infirmary—the neatly arranged medications on the nearby table, the incessant beeping was coming from the medical equipment attached to his chest. The more he took in his surroundings, the more reality flooded back, hitting him like a tidal wave: the attack, Mason, Darius! Darius was stabbed! Panicking, John attempted to move, urgency to find Darius consuming him
Destined Journey Epilogue
Two months after it had served as a battleground, the square-like clearing now buzzed with life and activity. The pack was in high spirits as they prepared for the full moon celebration. Where there had once been quiet and sombre cleanup efforts following the battle, there was now joy and excitement. Members of the pack, young and old, were busy making final preparations for the evening. Large tables were set up under a gazebo on one side of the clearing, creating a communal space for dining. Nearby, some of the warriors were constructing a pile of logs and kindling, destined to become a roaring bonfire after sunset. The air was filled with laughter and chatter, and children’s playful screams echoed through the clearing as they ran around, immersed in games and chasing one another. The village, transformed by a spirit of camaraderie and celebration, was a stark contrast to its recent past. John walked alongside his grandmother, a sense of peace settling over him as he took in the liv
Destined Journey Descent into darkness
The man's breath came in ragged gasps as he continued to run, every step taking him deeper into the heart of the forest. His blonde curls were matted with sweat, and his chestnut jacket clung to his body, drenched from the exertion. His muscles strained as he sprinted through the underbrush, his boots pounding the forest floor. The torchlight danced, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was indeed exposing his location to his pursuers. The howls grew louder, and he knew he had to find a hiding place soon or risk being captured by the impending danger.In the heart of the woods, John had stumbled upon a discovery that surpassed even his wildest imaginings. He had been camping in solitude, seeking respite in the sole budget-friendly location available to him. As night descended upon the forest, his ears caught the soft rustling of leaves and the crunch of steps. Driven by curiosity, he ventured toward the source of the sounds. As he walked closer, a familiar smell reached his senses,
Destined Journey The inner voice
The night had fallen into an eerie silence, enveloping John in an otherworldly tranquillity deep within the heart of the forest. Once more, he was thrust into a situation that had frequently left him with the discomfiting sensation of being an outcast, branded by a peculiar and unfathomable capability. This peculiar gift, which set him apart from the rest, was his astonishing ability to see with crystal clarity in the midst of darkness—a trait that transcended the boundaries of human ordinarity. Now, coupled with his newfound, almost unnaturally swift healing, John couldn't escape the harsh contemplation of just how much of an anomaly he might truly be. The question continuously danced through his mind: what in the world was happening to him?Alongside this, let's dub it a "gift" for now, was the steady company of a voice, a perpetual murmur in the depths of his consciousness over the course of the past week.This was the very same voice that had asked him to abandon his troubled exi
Destined Journey A chance encounter
John began to slow down, no longer hearing the persistent echoes of the wolves in pursuit. Exhaustion had finally caught up with him, and he found a moment's respite beneath the protective canopy of a towering tree. The transition from his first shift, which had occurred before the typical age for such transformations, had left the young lynx utterly drained. As he underwent another painful shift, his body contorted, bones snapping and reshaping.As his eyes fluttered open, he found himself sprawled beneath the sheltering embrace of a tall oak tree. The crisp, invigorating forest air traced a delicate chill down his spine, a stark reminder of his newfound vulnerability in this human form. Unbeknownst to him, the stubborn determination of the pursuing wolves lingered in the shadows, their tenacity undeterred. The recent awakening of his shifter genes had endowed him with enhanced strength and agility, yet the mysteries of the supernatural realm awaited his exploration, promising both
Destined Journey John's story
Darius led John through the dense vegetation with effortless grace, moving as if he and the forest were old friends. Each step he took blended seamlessly with the natural world, as if he shared an unspoken connection with it. John watched in awe, amazed at how naturally Darius navigated the woods, as if he belonged there, moving in harmony with the forest's whispers and rustling leaves. The towering trees seemed to sway in acknowledgment, creating a harmonious symphony that echoed their journey. As they ventured deeper, the forest revealed its hidden wonders. Darius occasionally pointed out tracks and signs of various animals that only a keen eye could discern. The air carried the sweet scent of pine, and the ground beneath their feet felt alive with the energy of woodland creatures. The sun cast playful patterns through the dense canopy, creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow. John marvelled at the richness of this hidden world, where supernatural beings coexisted with
Destined Journey Unfolding realities
Relaxing on the office sofa amidst a tranquil atmosphere, John found himself in a restless slumber. With a troubled expression etched on his face, his head rocked right and left, almost as if he were wrestling with some messed-up dreams. In his slumber, he was haunted by a looming, creepy shadow that hung over him, turning everything dark. John's mouth opened in a silent scream, and then.... he bolted upright, eyes darting around the room as if he were hunting down the invisible monster.His eyes wandered on the unfamiliar surroundings, attempting to make sense of where he was. A mingling of citrus and mint filled the room, courtesy of the wildflowers in the vase on the desk. Another scent, a somewhat familiar earthy musk with a hint of masculinity, hovered in the air, tugging at his memories. Slowly, the mental fog cleared, and he remembered.Memories flooded back – the intense pursuit, his remarkable transformation into a lynx, and the mysterious encounters with Darius and Prius. It

Destined Journey The Battle
John felt a growing unease gnawing at him as he muttered to himself, "What's happening?" while scanning the area with a furrowed brow. Turning to Darius, he sought an update. Seeking information, Darius reached out to Fez. "What's the status?" he asked. Fez's response was swift. "The rogues are holding their position, as if they're waiting for orders. They seem to be alone." As the pack's Luna, John tuned into their mindlink conversation, raising an eyebrow. "How many are we talking about, Fez?" he piped in. "About seven on our side, Luna," Fez reported. "Only seven?" John's concern deepened. "And overall?" "Approximately sixty, as we have estimated," Fez confirmed. Though Fez couldn't see him, John nodded,sharing his feeling of unease and asking the tracker to keep his guard up. John couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something felt amiss. Prius had briefed him on the ruthless nature of the rogues, their disregard for life being well-known. However, this situation didn't
Destined Journey A Glimpse of Gold
Desmond sat in his usual position, seated on the floor, his back against the cold stonewall of the cell. His arms were folded over his knees, and he rested his head on one of them, the dim light casting faint shadows across the room. It was a small comfort to him as the darkness was no longer as suffocating as it once was, courtesy of what he could only assume was the intervention of his mate. Though he still lacked the “luxuries” of the other cells, such as a bed or amenities, Desmond was no longer shackled like an animal. Instead, he had been granted small reprieves—a daily meal, the absence of chains—that served as a stark reminder of his newfound, albeit uncertain, freedom. Despite the lingering grime and tattered clothing, he felt a glimmer of strength returning to him, his body slowly healing from the wounds inflicted during his captivity. The scars would remain, a testament to his endurance and resilience in the face of adversity, but they no longer bore the weight of despair
Destined Journey Rogues Pacts
Mason paced back and forth, his keen gaze sweeping over the crowd of shifters gathered before him. Low growls filled the air, a testament to the simmering anger and tension that emanated from the group of rogues standing before him. Their red eyes glinted with defiance, their dirty clothes and unkempt appearances serving as a stark contrast to the more polished warriors of the Feral Glen pack. Turning his attention to Arlo, Mason's expression was unreadable as he addressed him. "You are not as useless as I thought," he remarked with a hint of begrudging respect. "How many do we have now?" Arlo gritted his teeth, his patience wearing thin in the presence of the egocentric warlock. "59," he replied tersely, his voice tinged with irritation. "We are still short, but it's all we could do." Mason's lips curled into a smug smile as he dismissed Arlo's concerns with a wave of his hand. "They are more than enough," he declared confidently. "Ruthless and with no care for their pathetic lives
Destined Journey The Tension of the Full Moon
The day of the full moon had arrived, bringing with it a palpable tension that hung heavy in the air. If the predictions held true, Mason and his werewolves would launch their attack today. The uncertainty surrounding the exact timing of the assault only heightened the unease. Moonrise occurred at 21:14, with the peak of the full moon set for 12:48 AM. Would the enemy strike before, during, or after the peak? Without a spy among the enemy pack to help them with such information, there was no way to know for sure. This detail only added to the tension, casting a shadow over their anticipation of what was to come.Darius and John sat in the pack dining hall alongside their comrades. Despite attempts to maintain a façade of normalcy, the tension was evident in the subdued atmosphere. On a typical day when lunch was being served, the room would be bustling with laughter and the playful chaos of children. Darius glanced to his right, where his mate sat. He took in John's profile, his fair
Destined Journey Preparations
As Darius and John arrived at the packhouse, they found Prius and Luke awaiting them on the front porch. John couldn't miss the subtle sniff Prius gave the air, nor the knowing smirk that crossed his lips. "Glad to see you made it back," Prius said with a wink, his words causing a blush to creep up John's cheeks. Ignoring the Beta's teasing, Darius draped an arm around John's shoulder and turned to Prius, asking, "Where are the rest of the elite?"Prius responded promptly, "We've been awaiting your return, Alpha. Your timelines weren't exactly clear."Darius nodded, his gaze steady as he addressed Prius. "We're here now. Mind-link everyone for a pack meeting; we have a lot to discuss.""Of course, boss," Prius said quietly behind his Alpha's back. John couldn't help but notice the Beta's mocking salute and muttered remark, which caused him to start giggling.Darius turned to John, raising an eyebrow. "Are you okay?" he asked quietly. John simply nodded enthusiastically to avoid furthe
