Kendrick's heightened senses as a Lycan allowed him to hear the faint sound of the little girl's silent cries, echoing in his mind like a persistent buzz. His acute hearing picked up every sound around him, from their whispered conversations to their laughter, even the rumbling in the child's stomach. These sounds, though innocent, gnawed at him, unsettling his thoughts and emotions. He couldn't comprehend why the cries affected him so deeply, why the mere mention of Faith being punished troubled him to his core. The conflicting emotions tormented him, leaving him questioning himself.Meanwhile, on the third floor where he and Selena stood, impatience radiated from Selena's demeanor. She was growing increasingly annoyed by the absence of the new maid."Where is the new maid? Why isn't she here yet?" Selena's irritation was evident, her impatience palpable.The grand hall where the meeting took place was adorned with opulent tapestries that depicted the history of the werewolf communit
There was excessive knocking on Faith's door early in the morning, shattering the tranquility of the still darkened world. Even the birds hadn't stirred from their slumber. With a sense of urgency, Faith quickly got up, her movements careful and calculated, so as not to disturb her daughter, Echo, who lay peacefully asleep on the bed, beside her. She opened the door, hoping to silence the persistent knocking before it reached Echo's sensitive ears.To her surprise, the same omega from the previous night stood before her, wearing a scowl that seemed etched into her features. It was clear that this omega harbored a deep resentment towards Faith, an animosity that weighed heavily on Faith's heart. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, wondering what had caused such hostility to fester within her."How can I help you, miss?" Faith asked, her voice gentle and cautious. She didn't want to further incite the woman's anger, regardless of her status within the pack."The future queen i
It was six in the morning. Around two hours later since her last interaction with Selena. Echo was still sleeping but she got the food from the kitchen. She ate a little, the rest brought inside the room and kept in a corner of the bed. So that Echo can have it when she wakes up. Her little girl knows how to take care of herself when her mommy isn't around. Faith quickly got inside the awful dress before Echo could wake up and see her in that dress. She quickly and quietly came outside and Lucy was already waiting for her outside with her usual grumpy face. "Follow me." Lucy said and Faith nodded at her without saying another word. She silently followed her outside the palace through the backdoor. They walked through the jungle behind a little before they came across a big dark building. It was giving her creepy vibes. "That's your place of work. Clean all the toilets in there today. Help yourself. I am off now." Lucy spat at her before turning around to leave without letting her
"Di...did you kill them...?" Faith asked, her voice trembling as she struggled to catch her breath, still recovering from the near panic attack she had just experienced.Faith's heart pounded in her chest, its rhythm echoing the residual fear that lingered from the harrowing ordeal she had just endured. Gasping for air, she struggled to regain control over her trembling body. The man who had emerged as her savior stood by her side, a pillar of strength in the midst of chaos. His presence alone provided a much-needed respite from the overwhelming terror that had threatened to consume her.As she caught her breath, Faith dared to glance at her surroundings, her eyes still haunted by the images of violence and danger that seemed to lurk in every shadow. The man remained silent, his unwavering gaze fixed upon her. She felt a surge of anticipation, desperately hoping for a response to her burning question.The man, her savior, had pulled her out of that small hellish situation and into the
As the sun's gentle rays filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow upon the surroundings, Faith found herself immersed in the thoughts of what happened a few minutes ago. Her gaze fixed downwards, she mumbled self assurance softly to herself, her thoughts consumed by the impending conversation she needed to have.Interrupting her solitude, Steven appeared, his brow furrowed with confusion as he observed Faith's nervous demeanor. Sensing her unease, he offered to talk right then and there, perplexed as to why she seemed so hesitant and he had many questions as well. "Faith, I have a lot of questions. Could you please answer them?" Steven asked slowly, not wanting to startle her. Shifting her gaze from the ground to meet his eyes, Faith felt a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability. Her voice trembled slightly as she replied, "No... I can't talk now. But... but I do need to talk to you. You're the first good person I've encountered since I arrived here." Her words were laced wi
"Steven, my little boy!" "Steve, you are back from the trip!" The king and queen exclaimed in happiness as soon as they saw their youngest son getting inside the living room. They were having their morning tea. Steven had gone on a patrolling mission around their border for a week and he had just returned this morning. Steven was the youngest and most loving son of theirs. They pamper them more than they do to Kendrick. Kendrick doesn't mind because he loves his younger brother as well. "Good morning, father. Good morning, mother. Could I please talk to you both later? I am in a hurry." Steven said in a blank tone as he continued to walk toward the stairs after stopping to bow at them a little. He didn't even look at them properly. "You just returned from a very long and tiring journey. What are you in a hurry for?" The king stopped him and asked with a frown. Steven stopped after hearing him as well and turned around to look at him. The look of annoyance and displeasure were clea
"Hello, Steven. It's nice to see you after so long," Selena said, her voice dripping with false warmth as she entered the room uninvited. She held herself with an air of entitlement, her every movement exuding confidence. The unpredictable reaction of the brothers intrigued her, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips."Hello, Selena. I wish I could say the same about you," Steven retorted, his displeasure evident in his tone. He and Selena had never been on good terms since childhood, their relationship marred by rivalry and animosity. Growing up as friends, the connection between their families had thrust them into each other's lives, but their conflicting personalities had kept them at odds.But after what she did to Faith, she has been marked as a red card to his enmity list. He cannot tolerate evil souls. He didn't know what was going on in his brother's head, he needed to talk to him as soon as possible before he lost his temper."Why are you being so grumpy early in the morn
"John! Please come quickly! Our dear son is starting to regain consciousness," Lina, Jackson's mother, urgently called out upon noticing faint movements in her son's body.Jackson had been trapped in the clutches of unconsciousness for the past agonizing days. Kendrick, in his merciless act of brutality, had not only beaten him to the edge of death but also administered a concoction of potent medicines that left Jackson weak and feeble. The road to recovery had been an arduous one, spanning almost three grueling days."Jackson, my boy! Can you hear me?" John's voice brimmed with a mixture of relief and concern as he rushed into the room, his face marked with the weight of worry."John, we must summon the doctor immediately!" Lina's voice quivered with a blend of anxiousness and hope, fully aware of the critical nature of their son's condition. John nodded in comprehension, fully understanding the urgency of the situation, and hastened to make the necessary arrangements."Doctor! Nurse!
4 YEARS LATERFaith was in the kitchen busy making the evening snacks for the kids. It was a nice evening. Her whole family has come to visit her. There was Steven and Thea as well along with their children. When all the kids met together, they started shouting at once that they wanted food cooked by her only. Everyone has different demands. They have a leader though.Ethan, Echo, Steven and Thea's three years old daughter Natasha and two years old son Max. They started to clap their hands to support each other. And Faith has a big baby too. Steven! The leader of the group. Who is not leaving any effort to spoil the kids."Need any help there, queen?" Steven asked, entering the kitchen while biting on an apple.Almost four more years of their life had passed off. Ethan and Echo's seventh birthday was coming near and Kendrick, Faith, Steven and Thea had all geared up for preparations.Ethan and Echo were the two jewels of everyone's eyes. Natasha and Max coming into this family made t
IN FAITH'S PACKThe air hummed with anticipation as the members of the community bustled about, each engaged in their own task to prepare for the momentous event that was about to unfold. Colorful banners adorned the streets, and laughter and joyful chatter filled the air, a stark contrast to the years of darkness they had endured.Faith's parents returned to their pack as the true leader.In the heart of the gathering, a stage had been erected, draped in rich fabrics and adorned with intricate designs that reflected the history and resilience of their people. A feeling of unity and camaraderie infused the atmosphere as people of all ages worked side by side, preparing for the long-awaited celebration.A group of children adorned with flowers dashed around, their giggles like musical notes in the breeze. The older generation shared stories of the past, their faces reflecting a mix of nostalgia and hope for the future. Every step, every decoration, was a testament to their undying loya
A FEW DAYS LATER "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear, Ethan and Echo! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang the birthday song to the birthday boy and girl. They both were in cloud nine. They had been pampered like princes and princesses since morning. They were so happy. They happily cut the cake with the help of their parents. They were really excited about blowing the candles off and eating the cake. Everyone laughed at their excitement. Echo was in her uncle Steven's arm eating the chocolates that he bought for her. He was back to health now. Ethan was busy with his aunt Thea who gave him a brand new fake sword which he loved the most. Thea also came out of the grief of losing her niece as she was better at heaven than in this sinful world.Everyone was happy. The situation had calmed down a little and it was a relief for everyone. Faith had kept her words of ending everything before Ethan and Echo's birthday and she was quite proud of it. But th
'Faith, where are you?' She heard Kendrick mind linking her. 'I am close to reaching the back of the camp. Where are you?' Faith questioned back.'I am going to join our people in the fight. It's going to take his attention and you can reach the children and Helen. Do you know where he is?' He asked. 'Yes, I do. I know where they are. Thea told me their location.' She replied and within seconds she saw a Kendrick's Lycan had latched its mouth around the neck of a rogue, the scent of rotten flesh battering her sensitive nose. The Lycan whipped its neck to the side, the large rogue subdued by the warrior's strong jaw. A crumbled smash echoed throughout the fight, the whining sound of metal bending. The rogue had been thrown into a tree, a few metres away from her, shattering the tree. Her eyes met the eyes of her mate and it nodded at her. She nodded back before continuing with her plan.Patches of grass were torn from the ground by large paws, laying in clumps around the park. Ther
"I don't understand why you are doing this? What are you going to get out of this? You have no idea what all you did, Jackson," Faith's voice trembled with anger and hurt. "You say you loved me? Never, Jackson. If you would have loved me, you would have been happy seeing me with the person I wish to be... Seeing me close to my husband and my family. A person like you, who can play with so many hearts and lives, can never love anyone. He can only love his own self." Her words were filled with frustration and disappointment.Jackson's face contorted with anger, unable to believe the accusations being thrown at him. He marched closer, but Kendrick's resolute form came between them, a clear and unspoken message of protection. Faith stood her ground as well, bolstered by Kendrick's presence."You both don't look that scared? Have you ever imagined that today would be the last day of your precious life?" Jackson's voice oozed with a chilling confidence, accompanied by a sinister smirk that
Jackson and Faith were in a car which stopped at hill point and Jackson pulled Faith out of the car. She was still trying to get freed but couldn't match his strength. She was holding the ring given by Kendrick close to her to drag strength from it.Jackson looked at her hand which she was securing so much. That's when Jackson noticed the ring on her finger."Is that a ring gifted by Kendrick?" He asked. "Throw it away. I don't want you to have anything related to him. And I tried so hard to make it possible but unfortunately your good for nothing children stood in the middle of my goal." He said.Faith was horrified and as well as disgusted. She tried to move away but Jackson didn't let her go."So where is Kendrick, huh? Who is going to save you now?" He asked sarcastically. "Was it so hard to live by my will? I told you I was going to accept you as my mate. Then why did you run away four years ago?" He asked through gritted teeth."Yes, I tried to escape and I will escape a hundred
Faith stood anxiously in the living room, her heart racing with a mix of hope and an unknown anxiety. She looked at the little boy with the same eyes as her daughter Echo. The little boy looked so much like Echo that it almost gave her a chill.. The man with Steven dropped the boy on his feet as the boy fearfully and curiously looked around with a scowl on his small facem. As she waited, the small figure emerged from the distance, cautiously approaching her as her eyes locked with her. The boy's eyes were filled with fear and confusion as he glanced at Faith. His steps faltered, and he seemed torn between curiosity and the urge to flee.With tears streaming down her face, Faith took a step closer, her voice quivering as she whispered, "My sweet boy, it's meā¦ it's your mother."The boy's brow furrowed, skepticism and anxiety etched on his face. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, as if the emotions were strangling his voice.Faith couldn't contain herself any longer.
In the dimly lit dungeon, the air is heavy with an ominous aura. Chains rattle as Jackson leans against the cold stone wall with a twisted grin on his lips. His parents are kept in a different cell. Even though he was the Lycan king now, his Lycan powers were in danger because of Helen losing all her powers. Just then, the sound of echoing footsteps heralds the arrival of Helen, the sinister witch with a wicked gleam in her eyes. She found an antidote to escape from Faith's people but she was still very weak."Grandma," Jackson purrs, his voice dripping with dark amusement. "My partner in darkness. It seems like you are getting your energy back as your magic elements are near." He said with a smirk.Helen's lips curl into a smug smirk as she approaches him. "Ah, Jackson," she drawls, her voice carrying a dangerous allure. "My dearest grandson. Where is your special partner? And what brings you to this delightful corner of despair?""Faith won the battle of being the alpha. That's why
A FEW HOURS LATERJackson and his family are locked away in a room. His power and orders are not working here anymore. Helen is way too weak to provide power to Jackson. So, Jackson, as "the king" asked for a room to stay before he leaves for the kingdom to Faith."What's happening here?" Faith asked in a dominating tone as soon as she walked inside the room and stood in front of a group of angry people. Her posture was filled with strength and confidence, making each of them almost cower away. They could already feel some power radiating from her but they were way too blinded with some unknown rage which possessed them to notice who Faith was."Who are you?" One of the male wolves asked with a snarl. His eyes were golden, glistening brightly, letting her know that his wolf was at the surface. But that didn't scare her at all nor made her stance break even for a little bit. Instead she grew more intimidating. She felt a presence inside her and at that moment she knew that it was her
