ORION

I woke up to the sound of beeping machines and the faint smell of antiseptic. My head was throbbing and my body ached all over. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my chest, causing me to gasp and fall back onto the bed. It took a moment for my surroundings to come into focus, and when they did, I realized I was in a hospital room.

“Orion, you’re awake,” a voice said from the corner of the room.

I turned my head to see Luca standing there, a worried expression on his face. “What happened?” I croaked out, my throat feeling dry and scratchy.

“You don’t remember?” Luca asked, concern evident in his voice.

I shook my head, wincing at the movement. “The last thing I remember is… the accident. Where is Selene? Is she okay?”

Luca’s expression darkened as he hesitated, before finally saying, “We still haven’t found her, Orion. You’ve been asleep for three days because of your injuries.”

My heart lurched at his words, and I felt a surge of panic and desperation wash over me.

    MAYAI blinked my eyes, slowly regaining consciousness, feeling disoriented and confused. Everything seemed hazy, and I couldn't quite grasp the reality of where I was. My head was spinning, and I struggled to remember how I ended up in this unfamiliar place."Where am I? What am I doing here?" I muttered to myself, trying to shake off the grogginess that clouded my mind. I looked around, trying to piece together my surroundings. The room was lavish, with extravagant furnishings and opulent decorations that spoke of wealth and power. Nothing seemed familiar, and panic started to set in.A maid approached me, her eyes filled with concern. "You're here with Master Viktor," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper."Viktor?" I echoed, feeling a surge of anger rising within me. "What? How did I get here? I don't remember anything."The maid hesitated for a moment before speaking, her gaze flickering with unease. "I'm not certain, miss. But please, try to remain calm. Master Vikto

    ORIONHours turned into days, and still, there was no sign of Selene. Each passing moment only added to my growing frustration and desperation. And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my phone rang, and it was Alpha Dominic."Orion, we have a situation," his voice was grave and filled with urgency. "Over half of my pack has been killed, and we don't know what to do. We need your help."My blood ran cold at the news, realizing the severity of the situation. They had escalated their attacks, and Alpha Dominic was turning to us for assistance. It was a dangerous predicament, but we couldn't turn our backs on them, not when the threat was so close to home."Luca, gather the men. We need to move to Alpha Dominic's pack immediately," I instructed, my voice tight with determination. "We'll do whatever it takes to help them, but we can't afford to let our guard down. We need to protect our own as well."As we made preparations to move to Alpha Dominic's pack, the anxiety of not

    ORIONI snatched the phone from him and pressed it to my ear, my heart pounding in my chest. "Maya? Are you okay?" I asked, my voice tense with worry.There was a sob on the other end of the line, and I felt a wave of panic grip me. "Orion," Maya's voice came out in a choked whisper, "Selene...they have her. I need to talk to you, please."Before I could respond, I heard a loud slap and a scream, and the call abruptly ended. My blood ran cold, and I turned to Luca, who was sitting at the computer, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Trace that call, Luca. Find out where it came from."Luca nodded, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he typed in commands. "I'm on it, Orion. Just give me a minute." I tried to keep my mind from racing with thoughts of what could be happening to Maya and Selene. I squeezed the phone in my hand, my knuckles turning white with the force of my grip.After what seemed like an eternity, Luca straightened up and turned to me with a grim expression. "I've

    MAYAI could hear the heavy footsteps of Viktor approaching, my heart pounding in my chest as I knew that nothing good could come from him being here. I was already locked in the small, cold cell with no hope of escape, and now the very person who had put me here was coming to torment me further.As the door swung open, Viktor's sinister smirk sent shivers down my spine. "Well, well, well, Maya," he taunted, his voice dripping with malice. "I hope you're comfortable in your new home, because you won't be leaving anytime soon."I glared at him, my anger boiling over. "What do you want from me, Viktor? Why are you doing this?"He chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting with an unsettling madness. "Oh, you know exactly why I'm doing this, Maya. You betrayed her."My breath caught in my throat as his words sunk in. Viktor continued to speak, his voice low and venomous."She's just in the next room, you know. All because of your betrayal. You have no one to blame but yourself."Tears welled up

    ORIONI walked out, the urgency pushing me forward. As I approached the training ground, I observed the selected few, the strongest pups, already engaged in their training. I felt a twinge of pride and concern for what lay ahead.Spotting the distinction between those in rigorous training and the rest, I scanned the area and saw all the pack members gathered, their eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and worry. Climbing the podium, I felt the weight of their expectations."Listen up, everyone!" I called out, my voice cutting through the murmurs. "My sister Maya is in serious danger. A vampire has captured her."Murmurs spread through the crowd. "Captured her? She came willingly with him to harm the pack, you know, right?" someone voiced, echoing the doubts that lingered.I raised my hand, signaling for calm. "Everyone, calm down. Maya was under a spell. She didn't know what she was doing."A wave of skepticism washed over the gathering, but I pressed on. "A witch confirmed it. She was

    SELENEI never thought I could feel this weak. The hunger and thirst were consuming me from the inside out. It had been days since I had been given any food or water. My body felt like it was shutting down, but I couldn't give up. I had to stay strong for Maya.Viktor had made it clear to me that I was the key to their plan for world domination. They believed that my blood held some kind of power that would help them achieve their goal. I wasn't sure what they were planning, but I knew it couldn't be anything good.The door to my cell creaked open, and my heart sank as Viktor strolled in with that smug expression on his face. "Good evening, Selene," he greeted me mockingly.I mustered all the strength I had left to glare at him. "What do you want now, Viktor?" I spat weakly, my voice barely above a whisper.He chuckled at my feeble attempt at defiance. "Oh, my dear, don't be so hostile. I'm just here to check on my prized possession," he sneered, his tone dripping with amusement.I wi

    ORIONI led my group through intense drills, barking orders and encouraging the packs to push their limits. The training ground was a symphony of controlled chaos as each group honed their skills. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the determined faces.Suddenly, a woman walked onto the training ground, her presence interrupting the focused energy. "Hello, people. I'm Adrina, and I would like to help you," she announced with a disarming smile.I stopped mid-command, my eyes narrowing at the unexpected intrusion. "Who the hell are you? Why do you want to help us?" I demanded, suspicion coloring my tone.Alpha Dominic of the Darkwood pack, who was overseeing another group, shouted, "Adrina! She's an evil person. She is Viktor's sister. Vampires are not to be trusted. They're planning to betray you."The revelation hung in the air, and the packs turned their attention to Dominic. "How do you know her?" someone questioned, the unease palpable.Adrina, however,

    LUCAIt had been a rough few months. The pressure of training, the constant attacks from rival wolf packs, and the capture of both Selene and Maya had taken a toll on all of us. On top of all that, Orion seemed to be snapping at everyone, including me. I needed a break, a way to unwind and clear my head. Finally, I reached the outskirts of the town and made my way to a club that I had heard about from some of the other wolves.The pounding music and flashing lights hit me as I stepped inside the club. I made my way to the bar and ordered a shot of vodka, needing something strong to numb my senses.As I sat at the bar, girls began to approach me, trying to catch my attention. I couldn't deny that it felt good to have their company, but my mind was elsewhere. I needed to clear my head, and no amount of female attention was going to accomplish that.I downed the shot in one go and made my way to a quieter corner of the club, away from the pulsing lights and throbbing music. I found a s

    Orion groaned as he tried to rouse his groomsmen from their alcohol-induced slumber. "Come on, you lazy bunch, it's time to get up," he urged, shaking Luca's shoulder gently.Luca grumbled incoherently, batting away Orion's hand as he tried to pull the covers off him. "Go away, Orion, it's too early," he muttered, burying his head deeper into the pillow.Xander and Xavier were no better, their heads pounding from the festivities of the bachelor party the night before. "Can't we just sleep for five more minutes?" Xander groaned, his voice muffled by the pillow.Orion chuckled, undeterred by their protests.

"I swear, Orion, if you don't leave us alone, I'm never speaking to you again," Xavier threatened, his words slurred from the lingering effects of the alcohol.Orion laughed, knowing that his friend

    Selene's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson, she opened her mouth to speak, but her words came out in a jumbled mess of stutters and half-formed sentences. The room fell silent, the awkward tension thickening with each passing moment as Selene struggled to find her voice."I-I'm so sorry, I-I..." Selene stammered, her words trailing off into an embarrassed mumble as she fidgeted nervously in her seat.A few nervous chuckles rippled through the room, the pack members exchanging amused glances as they tried to suppress their laughter.

"It's not funny. Let's move on."The pack members quickly sobered up at Orion's commanding tone, their laughter dying down as they exchanged sheepish glances.

    "Actually, Selene, I was thinking we should get the cake from that bakery across town," Maya interjected, her tone eager.Selene's brow furrowed in confusion. "Across town? Maya, that's quite a distance. Are you sure?"Maya's enthusiasm didn't waver. "I know it's a bit out of the way, but trust me, it's worth it for that cake."Selene hesitated, considering Maya's request. "Hmm... okay then. If you say so.
