Ariana locked herself up in her room, desperate to find solace amidst the chaos that had unfolded before her in the past couple of days. Her gaze fixated on the worn leather book that lay before her, its pages filled with stories of both happiness and sorrow. With trembling hands, she traced the intricate patterns etched onto the cover, taking a deep breath as memories threatened to overwhelm her.

“If you do not find the truth you seek there, then know that evil has prevailed,” Catherine had said to her whilst handing it over to her. The confidence she exuded as she spoke made Ariana all the more curious to unravel the mysteries hidden behind the black ink.

As she closed her eyes, Ariana was transported back in time to the day Lord Zack first arrived in their small town. He was a man of unparalleled beauty, possessing an effortless charm that drew the attention of nearly every lady in the vicinity. Women would swoon as he passed, their eyes longing for his attention, but his own gaze

He had no idea what Thomas meant when he said, the next morning, “it’s time I made myself known,” but he was eager to find out.“It was overdue,” he chuckled, when he finally understood. “Though times have changed, I am confident that you will have no difficulty blending with us. I'm sure the others would be happy to receive you.”“Yeah,” Thomas replied, his eyes fixed on Judah.“I will inform Frederick about your presence,” Judah said, trying to be helpful.But Thomas quickly cut him off. “No, I will do that myself. I am no stranger to him,” he smiled.After breakfast, Thomas set out to see Frederick.

The wounds inflicted by his sword were slowly healing, but it would take time for him to regain his full strength.As Fidelis struggled to find comfort among the pillows, he heard a soft knock on his door. Without waiting to be signaled inside, Damon entered the room with a silent grace.“Damon,” Fidelis stuttered, his voice barely heard.“Save your strength, my friend,” Damon whispered into his ear. “I'm here to make you feel better.”In his hands, he held a small vial filled with a mysterious concoction. With gentle hands, he applied the ointment to the area where the sword had pierced Fidelis's side, ensuring that the wound remained clean and infection-free. The balm stung, causing Fidelis to hiss in pain, but he knew it was necessary for his recovery.“Easy, Damon,” he weakly let out, unable to bear the pain anymore.

    Thomas had stood near Judah's body, confused, wondering what to do. He had killed him in self-defense, but he knew no one would believe him. He couldn't afford to be caught.He waited until it was midnight before perfecting his acts. He had dragged the body deeper into the forest, away from any trails or roads. He then proceeded to dig a hole in the ground, big enough to fit Judah's corpse. He had wrapped him in his own coat, as a sign of respect. He then muttered a silent prayer, asking for forgiveness and peace.“I'm sorry, mate. I swear, I didn't mean for any of these to happen. I swear on your grave that I will make sure Lord Zack pays for every evil he has committed; I will protect Ariana and Frederick from his wrath,” he said.He covered him with dirt and leaves, and marked the spot with a small cross made of twigs.He made sure no one saw him.

"You bear my blood in those veins, and you will obey me!"Frederick looked at Ariana, who looked as amused as he was. Chuckling for a moment, he looked straight into Lord Zack's eyes, unafraid. He stood up and faced him, his posture defiant. "Ariana and I muust really be unlucky to have your blood. You kust have been sold a lie ny thinking we connsider it an honor. You are not our father, you are a monster," he said to him. "You used to have our respect, but you have lost it. You have betrayed our pack, our family.

    Lee slammed the door behind him as he entered his home, his face twisted in rage. He had just returned from a meeting with Lord Loc, and he was furious that his advice had been ignored. He had tried to warn him about the danger of trusting Hunter.“You would be making a very grave mistake by trusting him, my lord. He is but a stranger, one that leaves us with no trace of his past,” he had said to him, sounding very convincing.Lord Loc had looked at him for long, surprised at his sudden and dramatic disapproval of Hunter, the very person he had, a couple of weeks ago, spoken lavishly about, convincing him that he was worth keeping with the pack.“Why do you hate him? Is there more than you speak?,” he asked Lee, his voice calm.“I do not hate him, my lord. I am only worried that he has so easily warmed his way into your heart. You have chosen to pay more attention to the things he says tonyou than you do mine. I worry that he is a spy, a traitor, or worse, a hunter who seeks preys. I

    It was a rainy morning, and the guards of Lord Zack's camp were on high alert. They had been on the lookout for Thomas and ‘his gang of rebels,’ as Lord Zack referred to them. Worried that they would attack them anytime, he had stationed his guards at the outskirt of the pack's camp.“Bring them to me, dead or alive. I don't fucking care how you do it,” he had instructed them.That morning, as they had become accustomed to since he escaped, the guards scanned the horizon, looking for any signs of movement. They were armed with silver bullets and crossbows, ready to shoot at anything that moved. Suddenly, they saw a figure emerging from the mist, walking slowly towards them. They raised their weapons, and their leader shouted, "Who are you? Identify yourself!"The figure came closer, and they recognized him. It was Thomas, the ‘rebel’ leader. He was alone, and unarmed. He looked tired and wounded, his clothes torn and bloody. He had a bandage around his head, covering one of his eyes.

He swung his claws at another, but missed. He was tackled to the ground by two more, who pinned him down and snarled at him."Kneel!," Fidelis commanded him, as he stood over him with a triumphant smirk. He wanted to humiliate him and make him submit to his authority. He wanted to show him he was not one to be scared of Lord Loc."You will pay for this, I swear," Hunter

    The early morning sun cast a golden glow over the forest, as Alicia returned to Lord Cage's camp. She felt a surge of relief as she saw the familiar tents and banners of her father's pack. She had been away for four weeks, visiting Lord Loc's camp as his mate. It was supposed to be a diplomatic gesture, a way to strengthen the alliance between the two powerful alphas, but Alicia knew the truth. She was nothing but a pawn, a means to an end, a solution to a prophecy she had not spoken of.She was greeted by a royal entry, as the guards who had accompanied her saluted and cheered. They had been loyal and respectful to her, but they had no idea what she had endured. They only saw the lavish gifts and clothes that Lord Loc had bestowed upon her, not the bruises and scars that he had inflicted on her. They only heard the sweet words and promises that he had whispered to her, not the insults and threats that he had spat at her.Even from close range, they still could not see beyond the make

I am only going to give you one chance to save your sister or she'll be dead!""You will do no such thing," Ariana whispered to him, struggling to free herself from his firm grip."You must mistake me for a weakling," he said, tightening his grip on her.
