Alpha Sarah's POVPower surged through my veins like nothing I had ever felt before. It was raw, wild, and untamed. Every fiber of my being burned with an intensity that demanded release. As Wendy lunged at me, her face twisted with hatred, I didn’t flinch. My roar erupted from deep within, shaking the very walls of the cave. The force of it sent Wendy hurtling backward, slamming against the jagged stone with a sickening crunch.She crumpled to the ground, her body limp. I should’ve felt relief, maybe even triumph. But all I felt was rage.“You brought this on yourself,” I growled, stepping closer. My claws ached to finish what she had started, to ensure she could never hurt anyone else again.Wendy groaned, her head tilting up just enough to glare at me. “You think this ends with me?” she spat, blood dripping from her mouth. “You’re just a pawn in something much bigger.”Before I could respond, movement in the corner of my eye drew my attention.Juan's POVThis wasn’t how it was supp
Lilian’s POVThe Palace looked almost magical in the soft morning light. Every corner shimmered, as though someone had scrubbed away the horrors of last night. But no amount of sunlight could erase the memories that lingered in my mind.I stood in the back, blending in with the crowd of Pack members. They cheered and clapped for Sarah, who stood in front of us with Alex by her side. Their smiles were genuine, their faces bright with hope, but I couldn’t join them.Beth’s face haunted me. Her last moments played over and over in my head, the way her body had gone still under the stars, the way her lips had whispered words I couldn’t quite hear. I swallowed hard, trying to push the images away, but they clung to me like shadows.Sarah raised her hands, and the room quieted. Her voice rang out, clear and strong. “Today, we celebrate the dawn of a new chapter for our Pack. We’ve endured pain, loss, and betrayal, but the Moon Goddess has guided us to this moment. Together, we’ll rebuild, s
Sarah's POV. The bus pulled to a halt and its door opened and the passengers stepped out of the bus. My eyes scanned the new environment I found myself in quickly as I stepped out of the bus. The place is a small town with people minding their business and doing their jobs diligently. "This is what I need." I thought. I held on tight to the bag on my left hand and began to walk further into the town. Tried to talk to some people but they treated me like I was a ghost. "What is going on?" I paused to try to understand the situation. "Lost or need something?" I heard a voice ask, teasingly. At first, I didn't think he was talking to me until he patted my shoulder softly. "Excuse me, young lady. Are you looking for something?"His deep voice bellowed, cutting through my thoughts. "Yes. I'm new here and everyone seem to be treating me like I don't exist.""I'm sorry you have to go through that." He chuckled and this infuriated me. He noticed it. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make
Sarah's POV I almost froze at the loud sound of the growl, but I was not ready to die this way; especially not when I'm on my way to freedom. The growl grew louder and closer to us, Alex took a defensive stance and gently shoved me behind his back to protect me. “I can protect myself.” I snapped, stood by his side and also took a defensive stance. “This is someone dangerous, someone you should have never met. Not especially on your first day in this pack.” He said in a whisper while his eyes scanned the areas frantically. “Who is it?” I asked, but before he could give me a reply, the werewolf jumped behind me. Instantly, he shifted to his human form and grabbed me by the neck. “Let me go.” I yelled at him and struggled to free myself, but he was way stronger than me. “Long time no see, friend.” The man let out a menacing howl. “Let her go, Marcus.” Alex gritted his teeth while still maintaining his stance. “Oh! Is that how to greet an old friend?” He whined with a chuckle. “
Sarah's POV. “What symbol?” I grunted amidst the pain of my bones cracking up. “The symbol we had been waiting for.” She smiled satisfyingly. I hate to say, but I must admit that I hate what this woman is doing to me, keeping in the suspense of something when I can't obviously do anything at the moment. The pain continued for several minutes, and my last wish at that point was to make it stop, somehow. Just when I thought it was never going to end, the full moon took its rightful place up in the sky and the pain stopped immediately; it was as if I had never gone through that pain. Though it was surprising why all of this was happening to me, I was grateful that the pain had gone, and I had shifted into my wolf. I had sometimes been taunted by other werewolves in the human world for not being able to shift. I wished that could see me right out and regret every word they had said to me. But that was far from coming true. “You are really the chosen.” The woman beamed with a smile.
Two months later Alex's POV. Sarah had taken over the position of the Alpha of the Pack and as the days went by, we began to bound. And I even planned to have a dinner date with her tonight to make her take her mind off things for now; she seemed to be hiding a lot of things that hurt her. It was 2pm, and I had been watching the clock for so long that I felt tired of waiting and bored as well. I grabbed my phone from the bedside table while seated on the edge of the bed and dialed Sarah's number. She didn't pick up until the fourth attempt. “Hey, Sarah. How are you doing?” I asked sharply, taking a deep breath along the line. “I'm good….” She paused, expecting me to state my reasons for calling. I guess she isn't the type that has much time to ideal around like me. “I was just calling to check up on you, if that's fine by you.” I stuttered in a low tone. “Of course, it's fine by me. So, if you don't have anything else to say, I would love to hang up now.”“Wait!”“Yes?” She sai
Sarah sat around the bonfire with her pack, deep in discussion about how they were going to overcome the rival pack who had been encroaching on their territory and taking away some of their resources. Alex, a strong and experienced member of the pack, was the first to speak up."I think we need to hit them where it hurts,"he said, his eyes glowing in the firelight. "We know where they're getting their water from. If we can cut off their supply, they'll be weaker and more vulnerable."The woman who had taken Sarah in nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, Alex. But we need to be careful. We don't want to start a war that we can't win."Sarah listened intently, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She had noticed one of their members, a man she didn't know very well, acting suspiciously. He kept glancing around nervously as if he was afraid of being caught.Suddenly, the man caught Sarah's gaze and immediately got up and ran away."Hey, wait!"Sarah called out, j
The next morning, Sarah grunted softly as she tossed around the bed. She slowly opened her eyes and she sat up, wiping her blurry and sleepy eyes with the back of her palms. Her eyes fell outside the window, at the bright, shiny sun that lit up the world. “It's such a beautiful day today.” She gasped softly.Before she could think of anything else, the door crept opened and the woman who had taken her in walked in. She goes by the name Sophie. She sat beside her on the bed, one of her hand on her knees, caressing it softly.“Good morning, Sophie.” Sarah said with a lit smile that played on her lips.“I hope you slept well?”“Sure, and you?”“I haven't felt this great in a long time. It's such a relief that you decided to join us.” Sophie smiled, which Sarah also returned. “I'll go make your breakfast. You should be down in ten minutes.” Sophie said on her way out of the room. “Okay, I'll be out soon.” Sarah called out.A smile played on Sarah's lips as she watched Sophie retreat fr

Alex’s POV“You think you can just walk away from this?”Juan’s voice tore through the silence like a whip, hitting me hard. I flinched, though I refused to show it. His sharp tone echoed off the stone walls. The air was already heavy with uneasiness, but his anger made it suffocating. His eyes burned with fury, his fists tight at his sides, ready to lash out.I stood still, staring at her. Around us, the remnants of the chaos—the broken furniture, shattered glass, and bloodstained floors—served as grim reminders of what had just happened. But Juan’s anger was a storm brewing on top of it all, and it was directed straight at me.“What do you want from me?” I finally snapped, my voice sharp as a blade. My chest heaved with frustration, the weight of her accusations pressing hard against me. “You think I planned this? That I wanted any of this to happen?”“You’re not innocent, Alex!” Juan roared, stepping closer. Her face twisted with rage. “You’re just like the rest of them! You carry
Alpha Sarah's POVThe air felt heavy, not just with the cool night but with the weight of everything that had just unfolded. Alex had broken down moments earlier, consumed by the ghost of his father’s voice. I had held him, trying to comfort the mate I still loved, even after everything. But there was no time for peace tonight.A sharp scream tore through the silence, wrenching us all back into reality.Beth's POVI knew I didn’t have much time. While the others were distracted, I moved toward Lilian, clutching the vial of antidote in my shaking hands. Lilian’s body was too still, her breathing too shallow. I knelt beside her, gently cradling her head as tears streamed down my face.“Just hold on,” I whispered, uncorking the vial. “You’re going to be okay.”But I didn’t see Wendy until it was too late.At first, I didn’t even realize I had been stabbed. There was only a strange pressure in my chest, like I had forgotten how to breathe. Then came the burning, fire spreading from the po
Alex's Point of ViewThe night pressed in around us, suffocating the air with an eerie silence that seemed to hold us all captive. My heart raced, my breath shallow as I stood beside Wendy. We were surrounded by a thick wall of shadows, the only light coming from the moon above, filtering through the trees. In the center of our circle, Lilian’s limp form lay motionless, her once strong presence reduced to a fragile shadow.Beth’s potion had worked too well. Too well, in fact. I could barely look at Lilian’s face, though her eyes, open and filled with an unspoken plea, forced me to meet them. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. The weight of her silent cry lodged in my chest like a stone. I had never intended for things to go this far, but here we were. And now, there was no turning back.I could hear Juan, Sandro, and Elena whispering to each other, their voices hushed but urgent, forming a protective barrier around us. Their eyes darted constantly from
Beth's POVThe stench of blood still clung to my hands as we left Mrs. Sophie’s garden, my heart hammering against my ribs. I couldn’t shake the image of her lifeless body from my mind. Killing her was necessary, I kept telling myself, but the weight of it sat heavy on my chest.I glanced at Isabella, her face pale and blank, her usually sharp eyes now distant. She hadn’t spoken a word since we left. Her silence was louder than any scream, and it unnerved me.The walk to the Palace felt endless. When we finally reached its towering doors, I noticed how the place seemed darker, colder, as if the walls themselves had absorbed the weight of our sins.Marcus stood at the top of the grand staircase, his gaze fixed on us. His face was unreadable, but I could see the pressure in his shoulders.Isabella froze the moment her eyes landed on him. Her silence broke with a venom-laced hiss."I'm saving Lilian without your help!" she snapped, her voice trembling with anger and grief. She turned on
Isabel's POVMy hands trembled as I stared at the person standing in Mrs. Sophie’s living room. Beth. The same Beth who had given Lilian away all in the name of whatever she was plotting with Juan. The same Beth the whole Pack thought was dead. The same Beth who the Pack thought betrayed them all. She might not have betrayed them but she betrayed me and Lillian, for that, I dint think I would ever be able to forgive her. Seeing her now felt like the ground beneath me had been ripped away, leaving me teetering on the edge of a dark abyss.I wanted to run, to escape the suffocating unease in the room, but Alpha Sarah’s firm grip on my arm kept me rooted in place. Her sharp nails dug into my skin, a reminder that I wasn’t going anywhere.“Please, Isabel,” Alpha Sarah said, her commanding voice softened to a rare whisper. “Just listen. We need both of you if we want any chance of saving Lilian.”The mention of Lilian’s name hit me like a punch to the gut. My sister was out there somewher
Wendy's Point Of view.The day was rather too slow than I expected it to be but I endured through the night. I tossed to the other side of the bed and when I groggily opened my eyes, it was met with the alarm clock.It was time to get out of bed. I threw the bedsheet over my body and got out of bed. Though it was still dark outside, this is the best time to start getting ready for the ritual."Such a good day to die, Alpha Sarah." A satisfied smile flashed on my lips.I made my way into the bathroom and took my time. After some minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom back into the room with a towel wrapped to my chest.I sat on the edge of the bed and applied lotion on my body while I hummed a slow romantic song. The sky was a bit clearer and it was time to step out if the house.I hurriedly got dressed and retreated from the house, I would have taken Alex's car but I would not want to disturb his sleep. So I walked out of the compound and trekked to the bus station where I boared a bu
Alpha Sarah's Point Of View.My face twitched with confusion as I couldn't place where I had seen the face, but I knew for certain that it was a familiar face.“Who are you? And what do you mean by you're the answer I seek? I seek nothing and I do not appreciate you calling me out like this in the middle of the night.” I warned fiercely and was about to leave when the lady stopped me.“Wait, Alpha Sarah, unless you have no interest in knowing what your mission is as the Alpha of this Pack. Seeing, you have until the end of tomorrow to remain Alpha.” She said, her voice was clouded with confidence and it clicked!This must be the bumper I saw earlier on my way home. I slowly turned to her with my brows twitched, my eyes scanning her from her head to toe.“Of course, I'm the bumper you met earlier, and I told you I would've back soon.” She uttered with a smile.“I never knew it would be this fast,” I crossed my arms against my chest with my head slightly tilted.“Well, there isn't much
