Eva's journey had been long and arduous. They had travelled through treacherous terrain, avoiding danger at every turn. The weight of responsibility bore heavily on Eva's shoulders as she navigated the winding roads towards the small town she had heard about. It was their only hope for a temporary respite, a haven where they could regroup and plan their next move. As the car pulled into the outskirts of the town, Eva's exhaustion became overwhelming. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she had to fight to stay alert. Glancing at Millie and Eddie through the rearview mirror, she could see that they, too, were fatigued, their little faces etched with weariness. Spotting a sign that read "Bed and Breakfast," Eva's heart leapt with relief. It seemed like the perfect place to rest and gather their strength before facing the uncertainties that awaited them. She guided the car towards the quaint-looking establishment, hoping they would find solace within its walls. As they entered the bed an
"Where is the girl?" The Alpha's deep, menacing voice echoed through the room, sending shivers down Jason's spine. His big, brown, angry eyes fixated on Jason. "Well?" The Alpha demanded an answer immediately. Jason hesitated before responding, "Alpha Duane, we're still searching for her. She may have perished in the fires, but we're not giving up yet." The Alpha's grunt was laced with disgust as he slammed his fists down on the table, causing it to shatter into pieces. "No. I know she is alive. I want her found. She and the little brats. Leave no stone unturned." Jason trembled as he watched the Alpha storm out of the room. The door slammed behind him. Jason knew he couldn't reveal the truth - that the girl and the children had managed to escape. The Alpha had ordered them to collect a specific target, and failing to do so would put Jason's and others' lives in danger. Being a member of the Blackmore pack was more like a punishment to Jason. Alpha Duane did not like la
"They have already left. This hotel is under my ownership, and I won't tolerate people thinking they can just come and go as they please," the man grumbled in irritation. Sienna frowned at his response. "Isn't that the purpose of a hotel?" she retorted. Irritated, the man shot her a disgusted glance. "We don't even know your name," he grunted. "Gabriel. That's my name. And let me tell you, the girl you're searching for is long gone. You'll be lucky if you ever find her," he chuckled sarcastically. Sienna's frown deepened as she locked eyes with Gabriel. "We need to find her," she insisted firmly. "Her safety depends on it." She glanced back at Jason, silently urging him to also speak up. Jason took a step forward, his voice steady. "Gabriel, we understand your concerns and respect your ownership of this hotel. But we have a duty and a responsibility to ensure this girl's and her children's well-being." Gabriel crossed his arms, his expression hardened. "Why should I believe yo
Eva's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she drove along the open road. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of her father, and the rest of the pack and the uncertain future that awaited them. The rain started to fall again, the drops hitting the windshield and distorting her view. She squinted through the downpour, struggling to see clearly. Suddenly, a blinding flash of headlights sliced through the rain-soaked darkness. Eva's heart raced as she slammed the brakes, but it was too late. The screech of tires and the sickening sound of impact reverberated through the air. Everything went black. When Eva opened her eyes, she found herself in a sterile hospital room. The soft beeping of the machines and the fluorescent lights overhead assaulted her ears and eyes. Her head throbbed with pain, and her body felt heavy and sore. She tried to move, only to be met with discomfort and the realization that she was hooked up to various tubes and monitors. "Eva!" The familiar voi
"Wait a moment. She is in grave danger." Gabriel's voice suddenly echoed around Sienna and Jason. They both turned to see Gabriel hobbling after them. "What is he doing?" Sienna mumbled to Jason, feeling vulnerable as she stood behind him. "I will not hurt you, but I feel the girl, Eva. She is in danger. She needs to be found and repurchased." He said. "I don't care what your Alpha may have done to her pack, but this girl is not to be harmed. Especially the children." Gabriel clarified his feelings by pointing a finger towards Jason and Sienna. "She left this necklace behind." He Sienna and Jason exchanged worried glances as Gabriel caught up to them. Gabriel hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I don't know who is after her, but I feel it's someone powerful. She was running for a reason, and I believe she knew something that could put her in harm's way." He said. "I have a friend, Clara. She is a witch, and I believe she can help bring Eva and the children back." He
When Eva finally woke up, she found herself in a different room. The walls were white, the air was sterile, and a strange man stood over her. He introduced himself as Dr. Matthews, a psychiatrist who specialised in treating patients with memory loss."I will be here to help you, Eva. Don't you worry?" He smiled at his patient and watched as she dug her nails into the pillow resting on her lap. Eva felt a chill run down her spine as she realised what was happening. She had been drugged and taken to this facility against her will. Her baby and siblings were nowhere to be found, and she had no idea where they were or what was happening to them. She needed to get away from here and find them. If only Sebastian was here. None of this would have happened. She felt anger towards whoever had caused this to happen. She knew it made her sound crazy, but someone was behind all this, and she had no clue who. Dr Matthews explained to Eva that she had suffered a severe head injury in the car acc
Eva's heart pounded as she listened to the woman's words. Fear and confusion swirled inside her. How could these people know so much about her? What did they want? "Who are you, and what do you want from me?" Eva demanded to know. The woman smiled sinisterly, relishing in Eva's panic. "You are special, Eva. And we need you to fulfil your destiny." Eva's mind raced, trying to make sense of it all. "I don't understand. What destiny? I want to find my family and go back to my normal life. Just go away." The woman's smirk widened. "Oh, but your normal life is long gone, Eva. You were chosen for something greater. Something that will change the world as we know it." Eva's eyes widened in disbelief. This had to be some sick and twisted joke. She couldn't possibly have any connection to world-altering events. "I don't believe you. Let me go!" Eva struggled against her captors, desperate to escape the clutches of this madwoman. The woman's expression turned dark, and their s
The door flew open, and Eva looked up, half asleep; she was beyond exhausted, but the lady was back. She had a smirk on her face as she looked down at her prisoner. “Are you ready to cooperate?” she insisted, but Eva did not respond. “You know that you will not be able to get out of here, silly girl. Your Wolf and powers are useless to you now. Your mate will never want you again.” she chuckled with amusement. She stood with a hand on her hip and flicked her long brunette hair from her face as she walked away. “Wait. Is Sebastian alive? Why can't I feel him?”Eva called out desperately with tears streaming down her face, but the woman slammed the door shut behind her. Now Eva was alone and unsure how to get out of this place. Her mind raced as she tried to piece together what the woman had said about her family and mate. Was Sebastian still alive? Had he been captured as well? So many questions. She had thought he was dead. She missed him so much that her family, the entire pack. S
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
