Abigail jumped up and down shrieking with excitement, she was so thrilled to get a call to go and see Jacob, he had not given her much notice but she made sure that she looked good for him. She couldn't believe how quick things were beginning to turn around for her. Finally, he had seen some sense and realised that Abigail was the one for him, not some weak little freak like Mia. Abigail smirked at herself in the mirror and twirled around. She had worn a short strappy red dress and decided to wear her long hair down. Jacob was going to have such a fit when he saw how good she looked. She could barely contain her delight. “Where are you going?” Sonia snorted at her cousin when she saw her walking in the heels she wanted for herself. She hated how Abigail had everything she wanted and she was treated like some worthless servant omega. “I'm off to see the Alpha.” Abigail smiled smugly at her little cousin who was kneeling on the floor with a bucket and cloth.Sonia wiped the sweat f
Dawn felt sick as she woke up on the cold floor, she sat up and proceeded to throw up violently. Wiping her face with the back of her hand she leant against the wall and tried to get herself together. Her head was spinning like crazy and she felt so weak that she could not even communicate with her wolf. The room she was in looked like it had been boarded up. She realised that she was alone, her daughter was nowhere to be seen. She felt the panic start to set in like a horrible burning feeling. Her throat was so dry and she coughed a little which only made her feel ten times worse. This Eric was a complete lunatic. No wonder her daughter had ran away. He needed to be dealt with and she knew that her father would end up killing him, that was if she hadn’t killed him first. “Let me out of there you idiot!” Dawn yelled until she almost passed out. There was no point in shouting or screaming because nobody could hear her and she could do nothing else but sit and wait. She held onto a
Antonio growled, he was not happy that his daughter was still nowhere to be found, where was she and where was his granddaughter? Why did they disappear like that? He was far from impressed at the welcoming that he had revived at this pack-house. He wondered if it were being run by a circus clown judging by the way this silly she wolf thought it appropriate to act around him. Did she not know that he was the Lycan king, the strongest and most important in all the land. He did not like the way she felt it ok to disrespect his beautiful granddaughter. “I think that would be best.” He allowed the Alpha and his brother to lead him into the packhouse. All around them people stopped and gasped then bowed their heads. Antonio did not care for their mark of respect to him and ignored them all. He was only interested in finding Dawn and Mia. “So, where is she? Where is my granddaughter and my daughter for that matter?” He looked around as Kane held the office door open for him. Jacob spun
Mia groaned as she rolled onto her side and squinted as the daylight streamed through the gaps in the boarded up window. “Help me!” She screamed, quickly sitting up and realising that she was in a strange place. She could not work out where she was or how she had gotten here. She fell silent when she heard footsteps coming, getting louder and louder until a key turned in the door and she gasped when the door flew open to reveal Eric! How had he found her and why was she here? Mia racked her brains but remembered nothing. “So, we meet again. No more jumping out your bedroom and driving off. You have no way of escape now.” He looked around, feeling pleased with his work. He had not been able to believe his luck finding her and the mother in one hit. “No, please. Do not hurt me!” Mia started to cry shielding herself from him as he took another step towards her. The smirk on his face made Mia feel sick to the stomach. Why could he not just leave her alone? She wished that Jacob w
Abigail was so angry and frustrated. How could Jacob let them treat her in such a way. The fact that the Lycan king had turned up made things even worse. Abigail knew she would not be able to compete with someone as highly as a Lycan princess. She refused to believe that Mia could possibly be a Lycan princess. She was a weak fool that only got in the way of Abigail’s true happiness with a Jacob. Abigail hated that this girl could just walk into their lives and have everything handed to her like that. Abigail believe that she were the better match for Jacob, since she had known him longer and knew what he did and did not like. She knew that he must have some feelings for her since he had wanted to see her over any other she wolf. “So get lost then.” Cherry growled pointing to the open road in front of them. Abigail glared at her and scowled. She had no intention of leaving until she had spoken to Jacob, herself.“Do us all a favour and get out of here, please. Nobody wants you here a
After having left his prisoners and disappearing for a couple of hours, Eric was on his way back to them when he spotted the familiar female who had helped him out before. He noticed how upset she looked and slowed down his truck. “Everything ok, missy?” He called out to her unwinding the window. She looked up in shock, lost in her own world of thoughts. It took a moment for her to recognise him at first. “Oh you, again.” She grunted. Eric thought she was being rude but quickly decided to give her the benefit of the doubt since he had caught her off guard. “Do you want a lift, since it’s about to start raining heavy.” He slowed right down and pulled up next to her so she could jump in. She nodded and got in just as the rain started to pelt down. “Thanks.” She said clicking her seatbelt in. He gave her a nod and started the car back up. “Where you need to be?” He asked eyeing her up. She twirled her hair around her fingers and thought a moment. She did not want to go home just y
Jacob was so mad, after spending hours running through the forest and chasing rabbits, he stopped at the stream for a drink and to cool himself off. His wolf had needed that run to calm down and be alone. He wanted to kill Abigail once and for all. She caused him nothing but trouble and pain. The longer he went without his mate, the more agitated that his wolf was becoming. The fact that his mate was not just any she wolf, she was the Lycan princess. Her grandfather was the Lycan king. It was all so much to process. When he had rushed out the pack house, Jacob had set mind block so nobody could disturb him and now he was almost back home, he quickly shifted back into his human form. His brother immediately came around the corner sensing his arrival. “Are you here?” Kane yelled. Jacob came out from behind the tree, buttoning up his shirt and letting out a grunt. “What is it, brother?” Jacob looked at him waiting for an answer. “The Lycan King has gone now. He insisted that it is
Abigail woke up with a start and realised that she was in darkness. She could not see anything and a lump appeared in her throat as she tried to work out where she was. She remembered getting into the green truck when the man she had met the other day had offered her a lift. Abigail gasped realising that she must have been kidnapped. She was furious that anyone would do such a despicable thing to her. Her head was pounding and she tried to massage it with her hand but something was holding her back. Her movement was restricted and this caused her to cry out loud. “Hello?” A familiar voice whispered in the darkness. Abigail froze. Looking around, she still saw nothing and nobody. She tried to communicate with her wolf but got nothing back. It were as if her wolf did not exist inside her anymore. “Who are you? What do you want from me?” Abigail started to cry, she was frightened and thought she was going to die in any second. “Abigail?” The voice in the darkness whispered. “Mia?
The den was quiet as Mia sat in the glow of the fire, her newborn daughter nestled in her arms. The soft crackling of embers filled the room, mingling with the gentle rhythm of the baby's breathing. Jacob had stepped out for a moment, no doubt checking the perimeter of their territory, but Mia felt a sense of peace settle over her, a feeling of contentment that wrapped around her like a warm embrace.As she looked down at her sleeping child, a sense of wonder washed over her. This tiny life, so new and innocent, held within her the promise of a future filled with endless possibilities. Mia's heart swelled with love and gratitude, knowing that she and Jacob had created something truly magical together.The den door creaked open, and Jacob entered, his eyes sparkling with awe as he beheld the sight before him. He crossed the room in swift strides, dropping to his knees beside Mia and the baby, his gaze filled with adoration."She's perfect," Jacob whispered, his voice barely above a bre
The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow over Mia's sleeping form. She stirred, slowly blinking her eyes open as the remnants of a vivid dream clung to the edges of her consciousness. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she reached out, her fingers brushing against the cool sheets beside her – Jacob must have already risen for the day.As Mia shifted to sit up, a sudden wave of nausea washed over her, causing her to clutch her stomach and squeeze her eyes shut. She took a few deep breaths, willing the queasiness to pass, but the sensation lingered, a persistent reminder that something felt... off.Frowning, Mia tried to recall if she had eaten anything unusual the previous day, but her mind came up blank. It was then that a flicker of realization began to dawn on her – the nausea, the fatigue, the subtle changes in her body that she had dismissed as mere stress.Could it be...?Her heart began to race as she mentally tallied the signs, her breath catching
Gentle beams of the morning sun pierced through the dense foliage of the forest surrounding the pack's territory, announcing the dawn of a new day. Mia awoke to the sound of birdsong, their melodic chatter a stark contrast to the emotional tumult of the previous day. Despite the visit to her mother stirring a whirlwind of feelings, there was a serene sense of hope that settled within her, soothing the raw edges of old wounds.Jacob stirred beside her, his sleepy eyes opening to meet hers. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep, yet filled with warmth. The bond they shared, always a palpable presence, seemed to deepen further in moments like these, grounding and uplifting Mia simultaneously."Good morning," Mia replied, her hand reaching out to trace the contour of Jacob’s jaw. Their shared look conveyed not just love but a mutual understanding of everything they had been through and the journey that lay ahead.Today, however, was not just another day. It marked the beg
In the vast expanse where the untamed wilderness met the fringes of civilization, the Horizon pack carved out its sanctuary. It was to this place that Abigail found herself banished, her past a shadow that clung to her steps, heavy with regret and defiance. The pack, under the leadership of Alpha Corbin, offered her refuge—but it was the kindness and understanding of Elias, the pack's second in command, that offered her a glimmer of hope for redemption.One crisp morning, as dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and cerise, Elias approached Abigail during her solitary wanderings along the edge of the pack's territory. "The wilderness is a great teacher," he began, his voice gentle yet carrying an undercurrent of strength. "It teaches us about resilience, about the strength that comes from facing our hardships head-on. You've been given a second chance, Abigail. Not many receive such a gift."Abigail regarded him warily, unused to being addressed without contempt or suspicion. "And what
The dusk had painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, a serene backdrop to the day's end. Antonio, known among his kin as the Lycan King, stood at the edge of the forest that bordered the pack's territory, his gaze lost in the horizon's silhouette. Despite his aging frame, he emanated a sense of timeless strength and authority, commanding respect from all who knew him.Jacob approached him, his steps measured and respectful. Despite their previous interactions, marked by goodwill and understanding, this meeting carried a different weight for Jacob. It was not just as the Alpha of his pack or as Mia's chosen mate that he came but as a man seeking the approval of the elder who had seen generations rise and fall, who had guided his family through tumultuous times with wisdom and courage."Antonio," Jacob greeted, his tone conveying both respect and an underlying nervousness.Antonio turned, his expression softening as he laid eyes on the younger man. "Jacob," he acknowledged, nodding
The journey to the hospital was enveloped in a thick, silence, one that was filled with a mixture of apprehension and a flickering hope. The sun set in a blaze of color, casting long shadows that stretched across the road, mirroring the complex emotions that interlaced within Mia’s heart. Sitting beside her in their vehicle was Jacob, his presence a steady reassurance of support and strength. His hand found hers, their fingers intertwining as if to say, "I’m here, no matter what lies ahead."Jacob squeezed Mia's hand as they entered the hospital, his loving eyes offering silent encouragement. They made their way through the sterile corridors, the antiseptic smell mingling with the low murmur of voices and the occasional beep of medical equipment, a constant reminder of the fragility of human life.Finally, they stood outside Dawn's room, a deep breath drawn by Mia as she prepared to face her mother, to bridge the gap that years of misunderstandings and hurt had created. Jacob's presenc
Kane, with his sturdy frame and penetrating gaze, approached the holding cell where Abigail was kept. Beside him, Cherry walked with a resolve that belied her usually warm and vivacious demeanor. They had agreed to undertake this task together, knowing full well the emotional and physical toll it could exact on them.As the heavy door to the cell creaked open, they found Abigail sitting on the small cot, her eyes devoid of the fiery defiance that once defined her. Instead, a resignation seemed to have settled over her, a silent acknowledgment of the reality that awaited her."We're here to take you to your new home," Kane announced, his voice steady but not unkind. Cherry remained silent, her eyes meeting Abigail's with a mixture of sadness and determination.Abigail nodded, rising to her feet with a grace that seemed incongruous with her current predicament. "I understand," she said simply, her voice a hollow echo of the woman she once was.The journey was long and fraught with an uns
The full moon hung low and brilliant in the inky night sky, bathing the forest clearing in its ethereal glow. Mia stood at the center of the sacred space, her heart pounding with a heady mix of excitement and trepidation. Tonight, she would officially become Luna, solidifying her bond with Jacob and her role as leader of their pack.Around her, the pack had gathered, a sea of familiar faces illuminated by the flickering flames of the ceremonial fire. Mia could feel the weight of their expectant gazes, but rather than filling her with dread, it filled her with a sense of purpose and determination.At her side stood Cherry, her face alight with pride and joy for her best friend. "You look absolutely radiant," Cherry whispered, giving Mia's hand a gentle squeeze.Mia managed a small smile, her fingers brushing over the intricate updo that Cherry had so lovingly crafted, woven through with delicate wildflowers and shimmering moonstone beads. "Thanks to you," she murmured, her voice thick w
Abigail shook her head vehemently, her eyes wild with denial. "No, no, you can't mean that. We're meant to be together, Jacob. Can't you see? Mia is nothing but a temporary obstacle, one that can be easily removed."Jacob's expression hardened, his jaw clenched with barely restrained fury. "Do not speak of Mia in such a way ever again," he growled, his voice laced with a warning that sent a chill down Abigail's spine. "She is my mate, my equal in all things, and I will not tolerate any threats against her."Abigail's lips twisted into a sneer, her desperation giving way to bitterness and rage. "So, that's it then? You've chosen that pathetic excuse for a Luna over me? Over our destiny?"Jacob met her gaze unflinchingly, his eyes burning with a fierce determination. "There is no 'our destiny', Abigail. There is only my bond with Mia, forged by the moon goddess herself. It is unbreakable, and no amount of delusional fantasies on your part will ever change that."Abigail let out a harsh l
