Tina was so pleased that things were looking up for her. She had no idea what tomorrow would bring, but she was glad it did not involve Eva or that horrible pack. She would be back to get them all down, and they would be sorry. It bothered Tina to think that her twins would be missing her, and she was concerned that Tim and Eva would attempt to spoil their minds against their mother. She had no choice but to leave if she wanted to stay alive, but they thought she was dead. She would give them all the biggest shock of their lives. "Is there anything else you need, Tina?" Rachel asked with a warm smile. "No, thank you. You've already done so much for me," Tina replied gratefully. Rachel nodded understandingly and closed the door, giving Tina some space to settle into her new room. As Rachel closed the door, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had just helped her friend Tina move into her new room, and it felt good to be able to lend a hand. Rachel couldn
The days passed in a blur of activity, and Eva was pleased to see that her father had returned to his old self. His eyes were brighter, and he had a spring in his step that had been missing for far too long. Eva was grateful for the change, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she didn't want to leave Sebastian's side. As they packed their belongings and prepared to leave, Millie looked up at Eva hopefully. "Eva, are you coming home with us?" she asked, her eyes shining with anticipation. Eva sighed and reached Millie's level, gently stroking her cheek. "Millie, I won't be coming back," she said softly. "This is my home now, but I will come and visit, and you can come and see me anytime. I will always be here for you." She was shocked by Millie's lack of excitement. Pulling away from Eva, Millie glared at her and crossed her arms over her chest. "Millie," Eva sighed, trying to reason with her sister, but she was not having any of it. "Are you leavi
Tina finished her meal and pushed the plate away from her; she was deep in thought and wondering how she would start to get her revenge and her twins back. She knew they would be shocked to learn she was still alive, and no doubt the Alpha would want to punish her for her crimes, so she knew that she would need to be very careful about how she went about it. “They will pay for what they did to me and made me lose everything.” She mumbled to herself and clenched her fists angrily as Eva’s face popped up in her head. If only Eva had never come to them. None of this would have happened. “I need to talk to you.” Rachel appeared out of nowhere and sat at the table, looking extremely glum. “What is it? Has something happened?” Tina snapped out of her own thoughts and looked at her new friend. Rachel sighed and leaned forward, resting her arms on the table. "It's my husband, John. He's been acting strange lately, and I don't know why. He's been distant and moody,
Eva paced the room anxiously, her thoughts racing as she tried to make sense of everything that had happened. She couldn't believe that Tina had managed to slip away, and the idea of her being out there somewhere, plotting against her family, made her skin crawl. She knew she couldn't let any harm come to them - her twins were her everything, and she would do anything to keep them safe. Eva took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but it was useless. The image of Tina's crazed face kept flashing through her mind, and she felt a cold sweat on her skin. She knew that she needed to do something - anything - to protect her family. Just then, her phone rang. It was the alpha, calling to tell her that he had already sent a car for Tim and the twins to return to the pack house. He firmly believed that they would be safer under his protection. Eva breathed a sigh of relief, knowing her family would be out of harm's way. But still, she couldn't shake the unease
As Sebastian watched the black van pull up outside the pack border, he felt anxious yet determined. He knew that Eva wouldn't feel completely safe until Tina was entirely out of their lives for good. Tina had been clever to think she could get away with faking her death, but Sebastian knew what he had to do to make his mate happy and to keep her safe. The alpha knew nothing about what was happening, but Sebastian felt confident in his plan. As he saw Alexia step out of the van, he couldn't help but smile. He hadn't seen her in so long, and they had been friends since they were pups. They had managed to keep in touch over the years, and it was through Alexia that Sebastian had learned about Tina's whereabouts. Once he had received proof that it was Tina, he knew that their plan to get rid of her was well underway. As Sebastian approached Alexia and her mate, he couldn't help but feel relieved that everything was going according to plan. Alexia was proud of herself and her
Eva was ecstatic to be reunited with her family. She kept a watchful eye on her siblings, determined to keep them safe from Tina's grasp. Eva couldn't believe that Tina had managed to trick them all. She realised that Tina was far more cunning than she had initially thought. "Daddy, where is mummy?" Eva's ears perked up as she heard her younger sibling's question. She noticed the sadness in her father's eyes as he tried to come up with an answer. Eva knew it wasn't the right time to tell them the truth. "Your mother is away on a business trip, but she'll be back soon," he replied, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. Just as the atmosphere began to tense, the Alpha burst through the door, looking cross about something. Eva was relieved to see his face soften when he saw the twins. "How are my favourite twins today?" he grinned at them, picking them both up in his arms. The twins were yelling excitedly about ice cream, and the Alpha nodded to Tim and Eva befor
"Your mate?" Alpha Morgan circled Rachel suspiciously, and his eyes narrowed as he took in her trembling form. He growled lowly, and his hackles raised as he sensed the tension in the air. John hung his head in shame, his eyes downcast as he nodded. "She's telling the truth. I'm having an affair with Alexia," he admitted, his voice filled with regret. "She satisfied me more than her." Rachel gasped in disbelief and fell to her knees, her heart pounding. Alpha Morgan was horrified at this admission and turned to Sebastian with blazing eyes. "Did you know about this?" he asked, his voice laced with anger. "No, alpha, this is news to me. I thought he was Alexia's mate," Sebastian answered honestly, his eyes darting nervously from Alpha Morgan to John and then resting on Alexia. “Why would you lie, Alexia?” Sebastian demanded his old friend's knowledge, but she did not want to explain herself. “He’s with me now.” She threw a filthy look at Rachel and wrapped her ar
Inside Alpha Morgan's office, the tension lingered in the air as Alexia, Rachel, and John sat anxiously, waiting for the truth to be revealed. The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows on the worn bookshelves that lined the walls. The Alpha took a deep breath, breaking the silence over them. Rachel's heart pounded as she braced herself for what was to come. She hoped that the truth would finally clarify the confusion that had enveloped her life. John, on the other hand, wore a mix of apprehension and guilt on his face, knowing that he had played a significant role in this complicated web of deceit. Alpha Morgan cleared his throat and started to recount the events that had led to this moment. He spoke of forbidden love, a secret affair, and the consequences that followed. He revealed the true nature of Tina, the woman who had once been Eva’s stepmother, and the dark secrets she had concealed within her heart. As the words spilt from the Alpha's lips, Rachel could fee
After a few minutes of walking, Granny Agnes stopped in front of a large stone door. The door was adorned with intricate carvings and symbols similar to those on the tombs they had seen earlier."This is the entrance to the Lady's lair," Granny Agnes said, her voice low and serious. "We'll need to be careful. She's not going to give up without a fight."Ava nodded, her eyes locked on the door. "I'm ready," she said, her voice firm. “Twins?”Millie and Eddie nodded in agreement. “We are ready.” Granny Agnes smiled a hint of determination in her eyes. "Good. Let's get this over with."With a deep breath, Granny Agnes pushed the door open, revealing a dimly lit chamber filled with rows of ancient artefacts. The air was thick with the scent of old books and dust.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a tall, gaunt woman with long silver hair and piercing green eyes. She was dressed in a flowing black gown, and her presence seemed to fill the room."Welcome back, children,"
As they walked through the passageway, the air grew thick with an eerie mist that seemed to cling to their skin. Eddie and Millie couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched, and the humming noise had grown so loud that it was almost deafening. Ava led the way, her eyes fixed on some point ahead. They stumbled over roots and rocks, their hearts pounding with fear. Suddenly, Ava stopped dead in her tracks. "Wait," she whispered. "Do you see that?" Eddie and Millie followed her gaze, and their eyes widened in horror. Ahead of them lay a vast, dark chamber with rows of ancient tombs. The air was thick with the scent of decay and death, and the humming noise seemed to come from within the tombs themselves. "What is this place?" Millie whispered, her voice trembling with fear. Ava's eyes locked onto hers. "This is the Lady's tomb," she said. "And we have to get out of here before she awakens." Eddie and Millie exchanged a desperate glance. They knew they had to get out of
The Lady's eyes seemed to bore into Eddie's soul as she spoke, her words dripping with malice. "You are wrong, boy," she said. "I am your mother. And you are my children, my dears."Eddie felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at the Lady. He shook his head, trying to clear the fog from his mind. "No," he repeated. "You're not our mother. Our mother is dead."The Lady's expression turned cold, her eyes flashing with anger. "You don't know what you're talking about," she spat. "You don't know who I am or what I am capable of."Millie stepped forward, her eyes flashing with defiance. "We don't care who you are or what you're capable of," she said. "We're not going anywhere with you."The Lady's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, but you will," she said. "You will do as I say because I can make you."As she spoke, the air around them grew darker and more menacing. The trees seemed to loom closer, their branches reaching like skeletal fingers. Eddie and Millie
"Hey!" he yelled out. "There you two are. We need to get out of here! Now!"The twins exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they followed Jason back into the forest.“Where are we going, Jason?” Millie asked as she held her brother's hand and ran behind Jason. "We're going to the safe house," Jason replied, breathing heavily as he dodged low-hanging branches and leapt over roots. "We must get out of the woods before the pack tracks us down."The twins kept pace with Jason, their eyes scanning the surrounding trees for any signs of pursuit. As they ran, they could hear the distant sounds of battle growing fainter, replaced by the rustling of leaves and snapping of twigs.After a few minutes of running, the trees began to thin out, and they saw a small clearing in the distance. In the centre of the clearing stood a small cottage surrounded by a thick hedge of thorny bushes.Jason led them to the cottage, where they burst through the door and found themselves in a cosy, dimly lit
“Please. Give me a chance. I do not deserve it, but I want to correct my wrongs.” Seraphina continued to plead, and Alpha Duane scowled. He had had enough of her already. “Fine, prove yourself. One foot wrong, and you are to meet your end.” Alpha Duane insisted as he gestured for everyone to follow him. “Let's go.” Seraphina felt a rush of relief as the pack began to come together to form a plan to take down the Shadowscale and protect Alpha Duane and the children. Despite the betrayal and distrust that had clouded their relationships, they all knew that they needed to unite to overcome this dangerous threat. As they gathered in a circle, the weight of their mission hung heavy in the air. Seraphina spoke up. "We need to act quickly and decisively to outsmart the Shadowscale. They are powerful, but together we are stronger. We must devise a plan to protect Alpha Duane and this pack and the children at all costs." Jason nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting his determina
As Seraphina sat in her cell, her expression hardened with anger and frustration. She knew that her time was running out, and she needed to find a way to explain her actions to the pack, especially to Jason. Of course, they would all be against her for getting their Alpha hurt. She thought that maybe if she could get him on her side and explain it so that he could stand by her side and protect her from the wrath, she would have no choice but to face it. Jason stood guard outside her cell, his features set in anger and sadness at the betrayal she had committed. Feeling a sense of desperation, Seraphina called out to Jason, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability that was rarely seen from her. "Jason, there's something you need to know,” she said. “What is it, Seraphina? I don't have time for games,” Jason sighed, his voice tinged with impatience as he tried to mask the concern that flickered in his eyes. He had always been a man of action, and the situation's urgency left
Inside the hospital wing, Alpha Duane lay unconscious on the bed, and his features strained from the injuries he had sustained during the rogue attack. The room was filled with sad worry as the pack members gathered around, anxiously awaiting any improvement in their Alpha's condition. Eddie and Millie arrived, and they wasted no time assessing Alpha Duane's injuries, their expert hands moving swiftly as they worked to stabilise him and administer the necessary treatments. The pack breathed, hoping and praying for their Alpha to pull through.Amelia observed as the Twins worked together to help the Alpha to heal. She was impressed by their abilities, considering they were so young. Meanwhile, in the cells, Seraphina sat silently, her expression cold and devoid of remorse. Despite the accusations against her, she remained defiant, her words dripping with arrogance and disdain for the pack's authority.“Seraphina, why did you do this? What did you gain from it?” Eva yelled angrily as
Almost an hour had passed since Alpha Duane had left with Seraphina. Eva had settled the baby down and felt more at ease now Seraphina had gone. She didn't like the way she made her feel. As Eva made her way down the corridors and back out of the pack house, she bumped into someone she wasn't expecting to see. “Wait, what? Gabriel, how are you here? What's going on?” Eva gasped, incredulous. “Gabriel?” Sebastian echoed, his eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t fathom what he was seeing and hearing. Eva turned to Sebastian, panic evident in her eyes. “It's Gabriel. He's back,” she said, her words stuttering as she tried to process the situation. “But Alpha Duane has gone with Seraphina to look for you. She said she knew you and wanted to help you,” Gabriel explained, taking a clumsy step back, almost losing his balance. Sebastian caught him just in time, helping him steady himself, while Eva quickly fetched a chair for him to sit in. Gabriel slowly settled into the chair, placin
Millie and Eddie watched with curiosity as Seraphina conversed with Alpha Duane and the rest of the pack. But the mysterious newcomer piqued their interest, her past and intentions shrouded in shadow.“There is something about her, I just cannot put my finger on it.” Millie whispered to her twin brother. As they observed from a distance, Eva approached her siblings with urgency in her eyes. She knew the dangers that lurked within the Pack Lands, the treachery of the Shadowscale clan, and the importance of not letting their guard down."Keep your distance from Seraphina," Eva warned, her voice firm. "I don't trust her, and neither should you. We can't afford to let our guard down, especially with someone who bears the mark of the Shadowscale."Millie and Eddie exchanged a hesitant glance, torn between their curiosity and Eva's warning. They respected their older sister's instincts, knowing that she had always been wise beyond her years."But what if Seraphina truly has changed? What i
