It had been hours, and Alpha Cade, along with a few of his pack members, was still searching for Zyra, but there was no trace of her. He noticed the tired expressions on their faces and decided to gather them around. Aria was still nowhere to be seen, so he concluded that she hadn't joined them for the search."You'll see her back at home then," Gaia said from behind him. Cade rolled his eyes inwardly.His members assembled around him, and he began to speak, "I know you all must be exhausted by now. It's already night, and we haven't been able to find her...""What if she's dead?" a member asked. Cade scratched the back of his neck and shrugged."Well, that would be an entirely different story. Should I just tell Mom she's gone?" he asked his sister beside him. Gaia shrugged."We can try, but I doubt she would believe it," she replied, and he clicked his tongue."Yeah, right..." he rolled his eyes before turning his attention back to his pack members. Looking at their faces, he could
It’s the last day for Alpha Cade to bring Zyra home and still, there was no sign of her. Another morning, his pack members had set out for the day to find her again. His sister, Gaia led the way while he stayed behind with Aria next to him, “You’ve been ignoring?” he asked her lowly and she shook her head“Why should I? I am just being conscious; I wouldn’t want you to pounce on me again.” She replied him as she kicked a small stone on the ground and Cade nodded his head.“Yeah, I get you but you don’t have to sound like that… you know I was drunk that night.” He replied her“Alpha, Let’s forget it. It is past already, now we are looking for Zyra.” She said to him with a small fake smile.“Are you sure about that?” he asked and she clicked her tongue.“Why not?” she replied before walking ahead of him. At Alpha Marcus pack mansion,Kieran, the delta of the pack, stood outside, the cool night air whispering through the trees. Beside him was Se
Kieran stood at the edge of the porch, watching Seraphina's figure disappear into the distance. He sighed, then turned and walked back into the mansion, heading towards his study. The room was filled with books, maps, and various weapons mounted on the walls—a testament to his role as Delta of the pack.He sat down at his desk and pulled out a piece of parchment, dipping his quill into the ink pot. He began to write, his handwriting precise and bold:---*Alpha Marcus,**Your message has been received. We stand ready to support you in ensuring Zyra’s safety. Our pack members will be prepared to accompany you to the birthday ceremony tomorrow. We understand the importance of this mission and are committed to its success. Can’t wait to see the reaction of them losers**Until then,***Kieran**---Satisfied with his letter, Kieran folded the parchment neatly and sealed it with the pack’s emblem. He walked over to the cage on his desk, where a sleek black bird sat perched, its intelligent
As Seraphina pulled away, she turned to look at him with a smirk. “You mean you and I should do the cooking?” Kieran asked her with a laugh, and she nodded her head enthusiastically.“There are maids for it though…”“Yeah, can’t you cook?” she asked, raising an eyebrow playfully.Kieran laughed heartily, shaking his head. “You know I wish I could, but I suck at it. I can barely make a sandwich without burning it,” he admitted, a sheepish grin on his face.Seraphina stood up, brushing off the grass from her clothes. “Well, that’s a shame,” she said with a teasing glint in her eyes. “But don't worry, I'll be with you to coach you through it. Let's get moving before I end up flat on my face,” she laughed, stretching out her hand to him.Kieran took her hand and allowed her to help him up from the grass. “Hmmm… okay,” he replied, still chuckling. He fell into step beside her as they began to stroll back to the mansion.“You know, you suck at cooking, and I suck at archery, but now I’m be
Kieran and Seraphina carried their freshly cooked pasta from the kitchen to the dining room, the warm aroma of their meal filling the air. The dining room, usually bustling with pack members, was quieter now, but a few people were still around, passing through or chatting in small groups.As they set the table and took their seats, Elara and Ryan, two pack members, walked by and noticed them. Elara raised an eyebrow, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.“Hey, who cooked? The maids?” Elara asked, her tone light and teasing.Seraphina shook her head, a proud smile spreading across her face. “Nope, we did! Kieran and I made this,” she said, gesturing to the plates of pasta.Ryan's eyes widened in surprise, and he exchanged a glance with Elara. “Seriously? You two cooked this?” he asked, clearly impressed.“Yep, it was a team effort,” Kieran added with a grin, feeling a sense of pride swell within him.Elara and Ryan shared a look before nodding and taking seats at the table. “Well, we have t
Back at Alpha Cade’s mansion, Cade was deeply frustrated. His pack had spent hours searching for Zyra, but there was no trace of her. The exhausted and disheartened looks on his pack members' faces mirrored his own feelings. Today was the last day they had to find Zyra, and as night drew nearer, his pack members' hunger became more evident.“We've run out of food and snacks, Alpha. What do we do now?” one of them asked, breaking the tense silence. Cade stared at him, feeling the weight of their collective frustration.“Are you seriously asking me this right now? I’m as confused as hell. I have no idea where that girl took her little legs to,” Cade replied, running his hand through his hair in frustration. His voice carried the weight of his desperation.Gaia, his sister, sighed and stepped forward. “You all should go home then. It’s clear that we can’t find her today,” she said, her voice tinged with irritation at seeing her brother so distressed.“Really? Home again?” Cade asked, his
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Alpha Grayson’s bedroom. His wife, Mrs. Grayson, had been up for hours, meticulously planning a surprise for his birthday. She tiptoed around the room, arranging the final touches of the breakfast tray she prepared herself. It was filled with all of his favorites: freshly baked croissants, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a steaming pot of coffee. A small bouquet of flowers adorned the tray, adding a touch of elegance to the heartfelt gesture.“Happy birthday, my love,” she whispered softly as she leaned over and kissed his forehead, gently waking him from his slumber. Alpha Grayson stirred, blinking his eyes open, and a smile spread across his face as he realized what day it was.“Good morning,” he replied, his voice still heavy with sleep. “This is quite a wake-up call.”Mrs. Grayson beamed at him, her eyes twinkling with love and excitement. “You deserve every bit of it. And there’s more to come.”Jus
Everyone in the hall froze at the sight of Alpha Marcus standing among them. "Alpha Marcus?" someone gasped, the disbelief clear in their voice."What brings you here, Alpha Marcus?" Gaia asked, stunned, as she rose from her seat. The rest of the hall bowed their heads in respect, acknowledging the presence of the formidable leader.Marcus stepped further into the room, his demeanor calm and commanding. "I am not alone. I brought some company to join your celebration," he replied, his voice steady.Cade interjected, his tone laced with suspicion. "Uninvited? Something else brought you here."Just then, the rest of Marcus's pack members entered the hall, their presence adding to the tension in the room. Alpha Grayson, the birthday celebrant, turned his attention to Marcus."You brought your people?" Grayson asked, a mix of curiosity and concern in his voice."You must be the birthday man, Alpha Grayson. Happy birthday to you," Marcus said with a slight nod."Thank you," Grayson replie
