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
The following morning, at Marcus's pack, the sun had barely risen, casting a golden glow through the windows of Marcus's room. Marcus and Zyra were already up, ready to inform the pack members about their plans for the day. Zyra was in high spirits, happily dancing around the room, throwing her hands in the air with abandon. Marcus, sitting on the edge of the bed, watched her with a fond smile, his eyes following her every move.The sound of upbeat music filled the room, and Zyra moved her body to the rhythm, her laughter mingling with the melody. Marcus clapped along, his cheers adding to the joyful atmosphere. Zyra’s hips swayed gracefully, and she twirled around, her long dark hair whipping through the air. She paused mid-dance to look at Marcus, her hands on her hips and a playful tilt to her head.“You won’t dance?” she asked, a teasing glint in her hazel brown eyes.Marcus chuckled, shaking his head. “I’d rather watch you dance, my love,” he replied, his ocean blue eyes twinkli
The pack settled into their picnic spot, the grassland bathed in warm sunlight. A gentle breeze carried the scent of wildflowers, and the sound of the nearby stream added to the serene ambiance. Blankets were spread out on the lush green grass, and a sense of excitement buzzed in the air as everyone prepared for a day of fun and relaxation.Asher, with his usual enthusiasm, took charge of the music. He set up a portable speaker and curated a playlist filled with lively tunes and calming melodies. The music added a cheerful background to the chatter and laughter that filled the area.Lily, always organized and efficient, handled the snacks. She moved around with a basket filled with an assortment of treats, offering them to each pack member. "Here you go, enjoy!" she said with a bright smile as she handed out snacks.Seraphina, with her nurturing nature, was in charge of the food. She set up a small table with various dishes, ensuring everything was arranged neatly. "I've got everythi
Rylan turned to look at the next person beside him and smirked.“What is it?” Elara, the next person, asked, raising an eyebrow.“Am I the only one wondering what game it is?” he asked no one in particular.Zyra smirked at Marcus. “We have a lot of games to be played, calm down... everyone will get their turn.” She said with a smile, and they all cheered happily.Marcus snapped his fingers, signaling one of his men to bring something over. In a few minutes, about two of his men returned with a basket.“Here we go,” Marcus said, taking the basket from them. “Inside this basket are lists of games we can play. We have Truth or Dare, Two Truths and a Lie, and a few other fun activities.”The pack members leaned in, their curiosity piqued.“Alright,” Marcus continued, “let's start with a classic. Truth or Dare. We’ll go around in a circle, and you get to choose whether you want to answer a question truthfully or take on a dare. Sound good?”Everyone nodded, excitement buzzing through the
