The morning sun cast a golden hue over the pack mansion as Marcus prepared for his journey. The pack was his home, his responsibility, but today, he had a different purpose. He needed answers, and there was only one place he could find them.Marcus got out of bed, the lingering warmth of Zyra's kisses still on his mind. He felt a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he made his way to the bathroom. Thoughts of her soft lips and playful laughter filled his mind, making his heart beat a little faster.Entering the bathroom, he turned on the shower, letting the water run until it was hot. Steam began to fill the room, curling around him as he undressed. He stepped under the stream, the hot water cascading over his body, washing away the remnants of sleep. He closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation and allowing his thoughts to wander back to Zyra.Her laughter echoed in his mind, a sweet sound that made his heart ache with longing. He recalled the way she looked at him, her eyes fu
At the pack, Zyra walked down to join the members in training. As she approached the training ground, she saw Kieran giving call-outs to the members, his voice strong and authoritative. Seraphina stood before him, mimicking his moves with precision. Noticing Zyra walking towards them, a broad smile spread across Seraphina's face. Kieran followed her gaze and turned to see Zyra."Oh, you’re here… good morning, Zyra," he greeted her warmly.Seraphina playfully spanked his neck. "It’s 'Good morning, my queen.' Easy to say," she teased, making Zyra laugh out loud."That’s not necessary," Zyra said to Seraphina, shaking her head."Well, I think Alpha Marcus would find it necessary," Asher added with a grin, and Zyra sighed."Good morning, everyone. Alpha Marcus isn’t home today," she announced, and the group turned to look at each other in surprise.Lily dramatically gasped. "Did he run away from home?" she asked, causing everyone to burst into laughter."But where did he go?" Kieran asked
At the Moon Goddess's sanctuary, Alpha Marcus leaned back in his seat, his mind racing with the revelations he had just heard. The sanctuary was a place of ethereal beauty, with soft moonlight illuminating the ancient stone walls and a serene silence that felt almost sacred. The Moon Goddess, her presence both comforting and commanding, stood before him with a knowing smile.Marcus scratched the back of his neck, feeling the weight of responsibility settle on his shoulders. He had learned so much in the past few minutes, and it was almost overwhelming. “Oh, what do you think I should do now?” he asked, his voice low and uncertain.The Moon Goddess waved her fingers gracefully, her eyes twinkling with wisdom. “Easy, you go back home and give her the training she needs, that is if she hasn’t gone too far already,” she replied, her voice soft yet authoritative.Marcus nodded, taking a deep breath to steady himself. “Yeah, you are right…” he sighed, feeling the enormity of his task but al
Zyra rolled onto the other side of the bed with a languid yawn, stretching her arms above her head as she opened her eyes. For a moment, her vision was blurry, and she squinted, trying to adjust to the light filtering through the curtains.“Oh God, how long did I sleep?” she groaned, rubbing the back of her hand over her eyes to chase away the remnants of sleep. Slowly, her surroundings came into focus. She sat up on the edge of the bed, her hair tousled and wild from a night of restless sleep. She ran her fingers through her disheveled locks, trying to smooth them down as she glanced around the room.The soft morning light streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room’s simple furnishings. Zyra blinked, her confusion growing as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings. “Wait, how did I get here?” she wondered aloud, her voice a mixture of confusion and curiosity. She slid off the bed, her bare feet touching the cool floor as she made her way to the window.She paused
Kieran bit his lower lip slowly as he pointed behind Marcus. “Look,” he whispered.Marcus turned around to see Zyra standing there with a puppy dog look on her face. “Oh, my love!” he mouthed, smiling as he opened his arms to welcome her in a hug.“I heard you guys mentioning my name. Did I do something?” she asked softly, wrapping her arms around his neck.He shook his head, kissing her forehead. “No, you did nothing, my love. Did you sleep well?”“Yes, thanks,” she replied, pulling away to join the rest of the pack members who were seated nearby.“So, how was it? Where did you go?” she asked Marcus, curiosity lighting up her eyes.“The Moon Goddess...” he replied simply, scratching his head.“Oh, great… what was she like? What did she say?” Zyra asked, excitement lacing her tone.Marcus sighed, trying to find the right words. “She was... cool, great, you know...”Zyra stared at him blankly. “Cool? Great? What did she say?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“She spoke about you,” Marcu
Zyra stood before the pack members with a side smile, she laughed lowly, looking down at the bow and arrow and she shrugged.“Okay, behold….” She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, her focus sharpening. The energy she had felt earlier while practicing mind control now coursed through her again, more powerful and vibrant. She stretched out her hand, palm facing the ground, and visualized the bow and arrows in her mind.The bow trembled slightly on the ground before rising slowly into the air. The pack members watched in awe as the arrows followed, hovering next to the bow, perfectly aligned. Zyra opened her eyes, her brown eyes shining with intensity. She felt the connection between her and the objects, a thread of energy that she could manipulate at will.The bow and arrows floated higher, positioning themselves as if held by an invisible archer. Zyra's eyes narrowed in concentration as she mentally notched an arrow to the bowstring. The first arrow drew back, ready to be releas
Hours later, in Alpha Marcus's pack, everyone took a break. They had been working tirelessly for hours and were exhausted. Zyra, on the other hand, dragged her feet to the pack’s kitchen.“What would you like for lunch, ma’am?” one of the maids asked her. Zyra shrugged her shoulders.“I’m not sure yet…whatever you give me is fine,” she replied, leaning against the counter. The maid nodded in understanding.“I'll just have some snacks, thanks,” Zyra added softly, rubbing her hands on her arms.“Okay, my queen. You can wait in the dining room while I prepare it,” the maid suggested.“Some yogurt and chips would be good; I’m not really hungry right now,” Zyra replied, turning to leave the kitchen for the dining room. After few minutes of waiting,Zyra was soon served her yogurt and chips, and she took the tray with a grateful smile. Deciding to enjoy her snack in the comfort of her room, she headed upstairs. As she walked down the hallway, she met Marcus, who was coming f
Few hours later,Alpha Cade sat at his mahogany desk, the remnants of the passionate make-out session with Aria still lingering in the air. He glanced over at Aria, who was now sitting on the edge of his bed, her eyes fixed on the map laid out before them. The room was dimly lit, with only a few candles casting flickering shadows on the walls, adding to the tension in the air.“What’s on your mind?” she asked him, noticing he had been thinking since he woke up.Cade leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as he pondered the pack’s next move.“It’s Skyclaw pack, they want to be on our neck but I won’t allow that.” He replied and she nodded her head.“Yes, I trust you but you should take care of yourself also, you wouldn’t want your pack members to look at you and think you are sick, right?” she asked him and he sighed, staring at her as he thought of reply.“Well, man’s got to work.” He said to her.“After now, I would inform the rest of the pack members about this, s
