Fay felt pain all over her body as she stood in front of the punching bag, looking up at it. Her legs felt heavy, and every muscle in her body protested. But she knew she couldn't give up now. She had to keep trying and make contact with that bag.

She crouched down a little, gathering her energy and concentrating on what she needed

to do. Taking a deep breath, she jumped, using all her strength to push off the ground. She

reached for the bag, but once again, her fist fell just short.

When her feet hit the floor, the impact sent a shock through her body. However, she didn't

have time to think about the pain. She forced herself to get back up, her legs shaking, and

took another deep breath.

Arnold, the man standing by the wall, remained still and unreadable. He didn't speak; he just watched her with steady eyes.

Fay ignored him and focused solely on the bag. She pushed her tired body back into position, crouching again, ready to jump. She pushed off the ground, her muscles straining to

    Fay lay flat on the training room floor,completely wiped out. The sound of her heavy breathing broke the quiet, each breath sharp and irregular. The cool air in the dim room only added to the tiredness that consumed her. The punching bag, now just out of reach, felt like a far—off dream. She couldn't keep going. She had put in so much effort, yet it seemed like nothing changed.The clock on the wall kept ticking, but time didn't matter to her anymore. It was almost midnight and she felt so tired.Her body refused to budge any longer. She didn't mind that Dominic was watching from thedoorway. She simply closed her eyes for a moment, letting the weight of tiredness press down on her. She was finished for the night.Dominic finally broke the silence. "Arnold," he said, his voice firm yet gentle. "You can leave now."The man didn't argue. He just nodded and walked out of the room without saying a word,leaving Fay and Dominic alone in the quiet. Dominic entered the room, his steps purpo

    Dominic pulled the car into the driveway of his mansion, the tires crunching lightly over thegravel as he came to a stop. The house loomed in front of them, dark and quiet, but Dominicdidn't mind. The night felt heavy, like it had a weight of its own, pressing down on everything.He sat for a moment, just watching Fay, still asleep beside him. Her face was peaceful, her breathing slow and steady. It was a beautifulsight, one that made him feel like the world outside the car didn't matter.He let out a quiet sigh, trying not to disturb the silence. He wasn't sure how much longer hecould hold onto this fragile moment before reality set back in. He had to make sure Faywas safe, and she needed her rest, but there was still so much more to do. The thought ofLady Rosie and the dangers they might face weighed on his mind, but right now, in this moment, he just wanted to keep her safe.Carefully, he turned off the engine. He hesitated for a second, studying Fay's face. He didn't want to

    Fay slowly opened her eyes, the soft light of early morning creeping in through the blinds. She stretched, her muscles sore but somehow satisfied after the intense training from the nightbefore. The events of the previous evening flooded back into her mind_ how Dominic had gently carried her to her room how he are tucked her into bed and the softnessin his eyes when she had thanked him.Her heart had literally fluttered as the memories flooded in.She shook her head, trying to push away the lingering thoughts of Dominic. Now wasn't the time for them. She needed to focus. The day ahead promised more training, and she wasn'tgoing to let herself be distracted.After a moment of quiet reflection, Fay slowlygot out of bed. Her body protested a little, but itwasn't anything she couldn't handle. She walked over to her window and pulled the curtains open, letting the daylight fill the room.She took a deep breath ,she was going to brace up this time,she was going to be ready for the day.

    The training room was filled with the sound of movementfeet shuffling across the floor, thethud of bodies hitting the mats, and the focused breaths of a group of students gathered in acircle. Fay stood at the center of the room, her body taut with anticipation. The boy she wasfighting...Aaron, a seasoned student stood opposite her, a confident smirk playing on hislips.The rest of the group watched in silence, their eyes glued to the two of them. Fay could feel the pressure of the gaze, the weight of everyone's expectations. But none of it mattered. She had to focus.Dominic stood at the back of the room, his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on Fay. His face was unreadable, but his eyes were intense, tracking every movement she made. He knew the boy Aaron was skilled, that much wascertain. And this training session would be the test. He had to see how far she had come.Fay wiped the sweat from her brow, taking a deep breath as she squared up against Aaron.He had a confident stance,

    The training room was filled with the last echoes of footsteps as the students slowlytrickled out, their whispers carrying through the air. Some were laughing softly to themselves, casting occasional glances at Fay, while othersseemed eager to leave, their frustration palpable. A few of the guys patted Aaron on the back, clearly impressed by his smooth victory.They joked and laughed, joking about how easy it had been, like it was all a joke. Some of theothers, however, muttered under their breath about how it had been a waste of time to evenwatch the fight. Their voices were laced with irritation as they exited the room, shaking their heads, and rolling their eyes.Fay remained seated on the cold mat, her legs stretched out in front of her, staring blankly atthe floor. The bruise on her cheek was starting to form, the pain in her ribs from Aaron's last hit still a dull throb in her side. She was exhausted physically, mentally, emotionally.The soreness in her limbs seemed to ec

    Fay stood frozen in the doorway, her mouth slightly open, her heart racing as she took inthe sight before her. Dominic was standing there, his chest bare, his muscular frame utterly jaw dropping.His trousers were unbuttoned, the belt hanging loosely at his waist. But that wasn't whatstopped her in her tracks.As her eyes roamed over him, her gaze lingered on something unexpected, something she had never seen —an inky blue tattoo that covered his chest, swirling like a intriguing map, tracing down his arms and disappearing into his trousers. The design was unlike anything she had ever seen before. It wasn't just a random pattern or a series of symbols; it was ancient, beautiful, and mysterious, marking his skin in a way that made her pulse quicken.She now knew why he was always in a long sleeved shirt but why hadn't she noticed .She didn't realize how long she had been staring until she caught a glimpse of his face.Dominic, too, seemed surprised by her presence.

Her eyes locked with his, searchinghis face for answers.In that instant, there was only the undeniatble pull between them. Dominic held his breath and before he could think, his hand reached up to gently cup her face. His thumb brushed againsther soft skin, sending a shiver through both of them. She didn't pull away.

She stayed, her heart hammering in her chest, her body betraying her thoughts,

    Dominic sat beside Fay on the bed, his eyes full of concern as he gently wrapped a thick, warm, blanket around her shivering body. Her skin was ice cold to the touch, and her breathing still came in ragged gasps. The transformation had taken a toll on her, but he knew she would be alright. The room was quiet, save for the faint crackling of the fire in the hearth, which cast soft, dancing shadows across the stone walls.The Elders had shown them to a small, secluded room in the ancient building where they could rest. Dominic had already prepared a calming herbal brew for her, the scent of mint and lavender filling the air. He helped her drink it slowly, watching as she winced slightly at the bitter taste, but she sipped it down, her fingers trembling against the cup."That should help you relax," Dominic murmured softly, brushing a strand of her damp hair from her forehead. "You did well, Fay. That was... an incredible moment."Fay nodded, but her gaze was distant, as if she were sti

    The air inside the car was thick with anticipation as Dominic drove toward the unknown. Fay sat beside him, her hands tightly clenched in her lap, her mind swirling with a mix of fear, confusion, and excitement. The journey had been long, but they were finally close. The Elders had asked to meet her--no, they needed to meet her. It was time for her to understand who she truly was, what she was destined to become.It was time.As the car came to a slow stop, Fay looked out the window, her breath catching in her throat. The building before them was massive, ancient and intimidating. Towering stone walls stretched up to the sky, covered in ivy and worn by time. At the entrance stood two giant wolf statues, their eyes fierce and unblinking, as if guarding the threshold to a realm beyond her comprehension. The statues were worn, but their majesty still commanded respect.Dominic's voice cut through her thoughts as he turned off the engine. "We're here."Fay nodded silently, her heart raci

  • HER WOLF AWAKENING: REJECTED AND REINFORCED    Chapter 61- THE NIGHTMARE.

    The night was thick with an eerie silence that settled like a heavy blanket over the mansion. Outside, Fay could hear even the faintest sounds, she listened as the wind whispered through the trees, and inside perhaps from the very far distance, all was still.Was this all that comes with her powers, with her wolf awakening?She decided to focus on just one sound and then almost successfully the only sound she brought herself to hear now was the steady, rhythmic breathing of Dominic as he slept, his chest rising and falling in the peaceful rhythm of slumber. Fay lay awake beside him, staring up at the dark ceiling and at the sane time, trying to control the bubbling inside her veins. For wolves sake, she could even hear her blood surging in her human-wolf veins.Her mind was far from peaceful, troubled by thethoughts of the future and the power she was still learning to control. The faint hum of her own energy buzzed in the background, but it was the images of the Council, the threat

  • HER WOLF AWAKENING: REJECTED AND REINFORCED    Chapter 60- THE SURGE OF POWER.

    The room remained eerily still as the last echoes of Fay's explosive display faded into the air. The trainers, who had been silent witnesses to the unexpected eruption of power, began to stir, their murmurs low but filled with awe. "Good grief, she's becoming powerful" Someone whispered "More than Dominic? I don't think so." Someone whispered back."How in the name of the moon goddess did she do that?" Another asked."Is she really what they're all saying she is?"One by one, they filed out of the room, speaking in hushed tones to one another, clearly shaken by what they had just witnessed. The training hall, usually filled with the sounds of combat and training, now seemed haunted by the aftermath of the power that had surged from Fay.Fay stood in the center of the room, still reeling from the overwhelming wave of strength that had taken hold of her. Her breath came in quick, shallow gasps as she tried to steady herself. She could still feel the pulse of her wolfs energy thrummin

    The sounds of the training room echoed through the mansion, a constant rhythm of grunts, footsteps, and the clash of limbs as the fighters trained relentlessly. Sweat dripped from their brows, muscles straining under the weight of their efforts. The trainers, sitting at the sidelines, observed with sharp eyes, making sure every move was executed perfectly, every strike counted.In the middle of it all stood Fay, her body poisedand alert, facing her opponent - Dominic. She had been training with him for weeks now, growing more powerful each day.Today, however, was different. Today, Dominic had decided to push her further, to challenge her in ways he hadn't before. He nodded to her challenger, telling him to take a break as he walked to Fay who was looking surprised as well as the other trainers.Fay gave him a questioning look and he only smiled, he could see the uncertainty in her eyes as he stepped forward , she stood doubting if it was possible to combat Dominic.She felt the ten

    The quiet of the mansion settled over Dominic like a blanket, his mind wandering to the changes that had come into his life. His chest was bare, the smooth skin of his muscles stretching as he stood before the mirror. In the reflection, his inky ancient tattoos seemed darker, deeper, as if they too were growing with the awakening that had started within him. His mind was full of thoughts...thoughts about Fay, about her power, about the future that seemed so uncertain but still so full of promise. He was aware of the changes happening within her, but every time he looked at her, it felt as though the transformation was unfolding at a faster pace than even he had expected.Dominic's gaze was unfocused as he stared at himself, contemplating the mysteries that lay ahead, but the sound of the bathroom door creaking open pulled him from his thoughts. He glanced over, his heart skipping a beat when he saw Fay emerge from the bathroom, the dim light casting soft shadows across her silhouet

    The grand hall of the council chambers was bathed in the soft glow of chandeliers overhead, the long wooden table stretched out in front of Alpha Roderick and Gwen, casting shadows across the polished floor. The members of the council had long arrived, they sat in silence as they continued to wait patiently for Alpha Roderick, the expression on their faces were mixed with distain and patienceThey had long been expecting the Alpha's arrival and here it was...the power dynamics of their world would shift in a way none of them expected.Roderick walked into the room first, his chestproud and head held high. He had always commanded respect, always walked with the confidence of someone who was in control. But today, he was no longer alone. Gwen, his Luna, the one who holds the final say , followed closely behind, her every step a proof to the authority she now wielded. As they entered the room together, the council members turned to look at themselves andbshifted uncomfortably in their

    Alpha Roderick stood before the large, ornate mirror in his quarters, adjusting the collar of his black suit. The reflection staring back at him was one he had seen countless times, but today, it felt different. There was something in the air-an unspoken shift, a quiet storm that made the hair on the back of his neck stand at attention.His broad shoulders were square with the mirror as he fastened his cufflinks, each one a reminder of the power he had built and the weight of the legacy he carried as Alpha of the pack. He wasn't just an Alpha; he was the leader of a force that demanded respect. Yet, as he prepared for the upcoming meeting with the council, something felt of. He couldn't quite place it, but the nagging feeling in his gut gnawed at him.The door to his room creaked open softly, and a figure stepped inside. Roderick didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Gwen, his Luna, the woman who had become his anchor, his strength, and, lately, his guide in more ways than on

    Fay walked down the long hallway, her footsteps echoing softly against the polished marble floor. The walls, lined with portraits of ancestors and old arts, seemed to stretch on forever. But it wasn't the ornate décor that caught her attention today it was the eyes of the people she passed.Before, they had always looked at her with curiosity or indifference, but now it was different. They greeted her with smiles, some even waved, their faces lighting up when they saw her. She could hear whispers of her name, carried to her on the breeze of their Conversations.It was as if she had become someone entirely new, someone who had earned their respect-or perhaps their admiration. But the change unsettled her a little. She wasn't sure if she wasready for all this attention, for this new version of herself.As she walked, she tried to steady her nerves, focusing on the way the hallway curved just ahead. At the end of the corridor. Dominic's office door stood slightly ajar, a faint light spi
