The dimly lit corridor was lined with antique paintings and ornate, dusty furniture, creating an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. The sound of Kendrick's footsteps echoed loudly against the polished marble floor, accentuating his frustration. His furrowed brow and clenched fists revealed his seething anger as he stormed ahead, completely ignoring Faith's desperate calls from behind.

"King, please, wait! Please listen to me!"

Her voice filled with concern and desperation, called out to him. But her pleas fell on deaf ears as he stubbornly kept on walking, taking long strides. She has already lost him in the pile of corridors. She couldn't match his speed.

He has already mind linked to his special guards to bring those bastards in this dungeon which is specially designed for torturing low lives.

Soon a concealed doorway appeared among the myriad of paintings. As he turned a corner, his steps led him right into this hidden passage. The door swung open silently, revealing a secret hall

    Kendrick stood outside the secret door of the dungeon to make sure there wasn't anyone standing outside. He didn't want anyone to find out about this place. When he didn't hear any sound near the place, he slowly opened the door. As he stepped through the door, he noticed a small petite body at the opposite side, leaned against the wall and laying down. Walking further toward that body, Kendrick discovered Faith lying asleep on the floor. His brows frowned as he couldn't hear her heartbeat. "Faith…?" He kneeled down and slowly called out her name, but received no response.Worry welled up inside him as he rushed to her side, gently shaking her to wake her up. However, Faith remained in a deep slumber, oblivious to his presence.Kendrick's worry turned into a mix of relief and tenderness as he realized she was unharmed and simply exhausted from cleaning the whole training building herself.

    The dimly lit room was filled with an air of despair as Steven carefully tended to the wounds that marred Faith's delicate skin. They were in a room beside Faith's room on Faith's request. The crimson stains on the bandages bore witness to the violence she had endured. Each gentle touch of the sterile gauze was a reminder of the pain she had suffered, and Steven didn't like it at all. Faith tried to hold in her cries as much as possible.As Steven gingerly wrapped the bandage around her battered arm, his hands trembled with a mixture of sadness and frustration. The sight of Faith's injuries, inflicted by those with ill intentions, unleashed a torrent of emotions within him. His hatred for Selena increased some more. The weight of guilt settled heavily upon his shoulders, for he had been unable to shield her from the clutches of Selena. He was going to deal with her later.

    Steven's world had been completely upended by the revelation of Faith's secret daughter. The news hit him like a devastating tidal wave, shattering the walls of routine and predictability that had surrounded him. The mere idea that Faith, someone he thought he knew so well, had a child was beyond his wildest imagination, and the realization struck him with the force of a lightning bolt. It sent a surge of emotions coursing through his veins, a tumultuous mixture of disbelief, astonishment, and a profound sense of betrayal. A sudden realization washed over Steven, and he couldn't help but wonder if this revelation explained his brother's peculiar behavior towards Faith. Could it be that his brother's distant attitude stemmed from the fact that the little girl wasn't his daughter after all?The comprehension of this possibility brought forth a mix of emotions within Steven. On one hand, there was a sense of understanding, as the puzzle pieces seemed to fall into place. It provided a po

    Kendrick sat alone in his office room, the evening shadows casting a somber hue over the space. The walls were adorned with faded family photographs, capturing moments of joy and togetherness that now felt distant. Dust particles floated in the air, catching the faint light that seeped through the half-closed curtains.He went to a neighboring pack for a meeting. He had returned earlier than intended. He was feeling uncomfortable and restless so he wrapped up the meeting soon.His heart felt heavy, burdened by a pain he couldn't quite explain. It was as if invisible tendrils of anguish wrapped around his chest, constricting and squeezing with an intensity that left him breathless. The weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders, a culmination of his own struggles. "What's happening?" He asked himself, almost breathless. "Our mate…" His Lycan howled in his mind as well, making him frown. "What happened to her..?" He asked his Lycan while groaning in the unbearable pain which

    Kendrick's heart pounded in his chest, a symphony of emotions surging through his veins as he sprinted down the dimly lit hallway. Worry for Faith's safety clenched at his core, threatening to suffocate him. Anger burned within him like a raging inferno, fueled by the images of Faith's delicate face contorted in pain, haunting his every thought. Just because he doesn't show now, doesn't mean his love for her faded away. It's just the betrayal is stronger than that love he has at that moment. Each step he took, his blood boiled some more. His nannah told him through a mind link about what happened today in the living room. About how Selena set Faith up and abused her. He can't believe Selena pushed Faith on a pile of broken glasses. He was angry would be an understatement. He has started regretting his decision of calling Selena here. He should have thought properly before taking this decision instead of deciding in anger. He was badly regretting it. She was seriously becoming a hea

    "Kendrick." Faith breathed, her voice a fragile melody. "Please, help me…I can't take this pain." She almost begged as uncontrollable tears rolled down her eyes which she closed again. Kendrick understood that either she was under medication or she was in a daze because of high fever or pain. Because she was losing consciousness and regaining it. Tears welled up in Kendrick's eyes without his control or permission, his heart breaking anew at the sight of the woman he still held dear, battered and broken. He approached her with aching tenderness, his hand reaching out to gently clasp hers. In that touch, he offered solace, a silent promise to be her unwavering support."I'm here, Faith," Kendrick murmured softly, his voice brimming with care and sadness. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what." And in that moment, he resolved to protect her. They both knew they would be out of this beautiful dream soon but till that time comes, they both want to hold onto this moment. The momen

    (Mature content ahead) Kendrick brought her to his personal mansion which is close to the palace. His closeness was messing with her mate's bond and she was getting needy of his touch as she clung to him. He couldn't hold himself anymore as well. They both blocked all the thought of consequences at that moment. They blocked all the thought of what's going to happen next and let themselves go in the flame of mate bond and their own desire. He brought her to the bedroom and dropped her on her feet. She looked at him with drunk eyes. The tough palm of Kendrick wrapped around Faith's arm harshly, pulling her back against his hard chest as he possessively secured her in his arms when she tried to move away in sudden shyness."Ke…Kendrick.." She whispered, struggling against his hard torso, guilty pleasure consuming her. His simple touches were enough to make her weak on her knees. "Wh…what's happening to me…?" She questioned, unable to handle the raising desire anymore."Your body is cr

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?"

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

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.

    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.

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
