PEACE at last?The garden was a tranquil oasis, brimming with life and bursting with colors. A profusion of flowers, shrubs, and trees blended harmoniously together to create a lush, green paradise. The sweet aroma of lavender and roses mingled with the earthy scent of freshly cut grass, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance.In the center of the garden stood a beautiful garden swing, swaying gently in the breeze. Its white frame was adorned with intricate patterns of vines and flowers, adding to the natural beauty of the garden. The swing seat was cushioned with soft, floral-patterned fabric, inviting visitors to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.The garden was divided into several sections, each with its own unique charm. A winding path led through the rose garden, where vibrant roses of every shade imaginable bloomed. Further down, a small pond glistened in the sunlight, its crystal-clear water teeming with koi fish. Tall trees shaded a section of the garden, providing
★Two week later★They converged for a final meeting before they leave for Athens and Adrian decided to motivateand also warn his people at the same time.He stood before his team, his imposing figure casting a shadow over them as he looked at each member in turn. The young man was known for his strength and skill, but also his intelligence and tactical mind. He knew what they were up against in Athens, and he knew that they needed to be prepared."Alright, everyone," he began, his voice low and steady. "We're going to Athens to gather information, and we need to be careful. The city is heavily guarded, and we don't want to attract any unwanted attention."The members of the team, who were dressed as traders, looked at each other nervously, but Adrian's words gave them confidence."We have to be smart about this," Adrian continued. "Remember, our mission is to gather information, not to engage in any kind of confrontation. We're not there to fight, we're there to learn."He paused, sc
CONFRONTATIONDeep in the heart of the dense forest, there was a clearing, hidden from the outside world. This clearing was the meeting place for the Heirs of different packs to discuss matters of mutual concern. It was a place of peace and tranquility, a place where the beasts that roamed the forest didn't dare to venture.The clearing was large enough to accommodate a hundred people, with a massive oak tree in the center, standing tall and proud. The tree had been there for centuries, its roots dug deep into the ground, its branches reaching towards the sky. It was a symbol of strength and resilience, and the Heirs looked up to it with reverence.Surrounding the oak tree were several large boulders, arranged in a circular fashion. Each boulder was large enough to accommodate a group of people, and they were spaced out evenly, providing ample seating for everyone.The clearing was bathed in a soft golden light, filtering through the canopy of leaves overhead. The air was filled with
HAPPY TIMESGolder was up in her room, all dressed and agitated. She wasn’t agitated because of the events about to take place, but because of the events that had already taken place. She never envisioned herself thinking about anything on her birthday but apparently, she had no choice.She paced around in her room, waiting for them to announce her entrance before she would step out and into the magnificent hall.As people began to come for the celebration of Golder's 21st birthday, the hall was filled with a buzzing of excitement and expectation. When they walked into the room, they were confronted by a scene that left them speechless and unable to take a breath. The entire area had been completely turned into a dazzling wonderland, and every detail had been meticulously prepared in order to produce a breathtaking ambiance.The walls of the hall were covered in voluminous curtains that were made of a rich, opulent fabric in colors of deep crimson and gold. The fabric had been skillfu
HAPPY TIMES?"Who turned off the lights?" It would appear that nobody was fazed by what took place, so I was forced to inquire, "What in the name of flying monkeys is going on here?""Mom, Dad, Ari?"I was to the point where I was about to have a panic attack! They were unaware that I had only recently developed a fear of being in dimly lit areas. It appeared that I was the only one who was concerned; therefore it was very difficult for me to keep from becoming overly anxious.‘Alright, Golder, take a deep breath. You're fine! You won't need to worry about anything. You're home, and you're in good hands.’I placed my hands out in front of me to try if I could sense anyone else nearby, but all I could feel was the void around me."OK, you guys, we've got to stop laughing about this!" "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean for that to be amusing."I was completely paralyzed as my poor brain attempted to perform some rapid calculations.‘Oh no, brain! Don't pass out on me at this crucial moment!
GOLDER’S POVAs he stepped back and extended his hand to me, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. As I gazed at him, I couldn't help but wonder what tricks he had up his sleeve.As soon as I stood up, slow music started playing, and it was at that very time that I knew we were ready to dance. The only problem was that Simon couldn't hold me while we danced but his chair could move in whatever way he wanted it to. And I didn't find this to be an issue at all.While we were dancing, I looked up and saw that the sky had become filled with stars, which appeared one by one in the manner of a celestial symphony. They moved across the night sky in a spectacular exhibition of the cosmos' brilliant brilliance, forming constellations that appeared to come to life with fables and legends from the distant past. Orion, armed with his powerful bow and arrow, stood tall and proud, and Cassiopeia shone brightly like a heavenly queen. The Big Dipper, with its easily recognizable shape, appeared to b
ENCHANTED“I thought you weren’t going to make it”“Cut to the chase Ginny! What do you want?”“I don’t really want anything. I only want to apologize and I want you to hear me out.”The waiter arrived with drinks Ginny had already pre-ordered.“Thank you” The waiter nodded his head and left “Simon, here” she pushed one drink towards him and he pushed it back to her“I’m not interested”She took a look at him and raised the glass to her lips and drank out of it. “See, it's fine. So are you going to have it now?” she asked almost pleading with her eyesHe looked away as he drew the drink to himself and took a sip from it.“I shouldn’t have come here”“But you did. And I’m going to talk, and you are also going to listen to me. I didn’t bring you out here for you to be feeling guilty or to guilt trip me. Okay?”“Well then, go ahead!”“Simon, when I told you the idea I had, I expected you to either agree with me or..”"Agree with you, Ginny? Let me refresh your memory about what your noti
REJECTED Golder reflected on all that had taken place between her and Simon as she sat on her bed and thought about it. She never entertained the possibility that her hunches were correct, and she didn't even bother to tell Ariana what her thoughts were on the matter.The day before, as soon as she arrived at her house, she proceeded straight to her bedroom, and she had not left there since that time. Everyone had come to see how she was doing, but she told them to go; nevertheless, she had no choice but to let everyone into the room today. And why?The day had finally come when she would have to acknowledge Simon as her mate, and she was not the least bit excited about it! She longed to be able to tell her mother that she was changing her mind about getting married, but she was stumped as to why she would change her mind. She reasoned that it would be inappropriate to tell them about Simon's act and the intense confrontation that they had. And even if she wanted to, she was unable

Athena’s little hand rested in mine, her eyes wide with innocence and curiosity. She eagerly began to tell me about her day at school, her voice filled with excitement and animated gestures.“Daddy, guess what?” she exclaimed, her voice a melodic symphony. “Today, we learned about colors, and I drew a picture of a rainbow. It had all the colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple!”I couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm, my heart swelling with pride at her accomplishments. “That’s wonderful, my sweet Athena,” I replied, my voice filled with warmth. “I’m so proud of you.

Liam’s voice rose above the din, his tone laced with surprise and desperation. “Retreat!” he bellowed, his words echoing through the chaos. His warriors hesitated for a moment, their ranks wavering. The opportunity presented itself, and we seized it with unwavering determination.The Athens pack surged forward, a relentless force that pursued Liam’s retreating warriors.

I stared at the silent device in my hand, a mix of anger and concern coursing through my veins.Liam’s words had struck a nerve, reminding me of the precarious position we were in. The battle was not just about power and dominance; it was a fight for the safety and well-being of my pack, my family. I couldn’t afford to let him succeed.As I lay on the grass, the weight of Liam’s threats and the uncertainty of our future settled upon my shoulders.
