The sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow over the small park where a sense of anticipation lingered in the air. Faith stood outside, awaiting Steven's arrival, her heart pounding in her chest, her eyes scanning the empty road for a familiar face. It had been so many days since she had last seen Erin, her dear friend from her past life that seemed like a distant dream. They had endured unimaginable suffering together, yet their paths had diverged, leaving Faith with a glimmer of hope while Erin remained trapped in the clutches of that cruel and heartless man, Jackson. Suddenly, Faith's eyes locked onto a figure she thought she would never see again. Erin stood there, her weary eyes filled with a mix of trepidation and relief. Time had etched lines of pain on her face, but Faith recognized the spark of resilience that still burned within her. The weight of their shared past bore heavily upon them, and as they approached each other, their steps hesitant but filled with lon
As they settled into their seats, the room grew quiet, the weight of anticipation hanging in the air. Steven took a moment to survey each individual, making sure he had their full attention before he began to speak.Steven's voice commanding, yet laced with a hint of concern, "Something has come to my attention, something that directly affects each and every one of us. Jackson's acts, a matter that demands our immediate attention." The group exchanged glances, their eyes locked on Steven, each person trying to decipher the gravity of the situation. Kendrick's confusion deepened as he realized that whatever Steven was referring to, it surpassed the boundaries of Erin's rescue. Intrigue mingled with apprehension as they prepared to embark on a discussion that held the potential to reshape their lives.The rain suddenly started to cascade outside, as if nature itself mirrored the emotional storm brewing within the room. The stage was set for revelations, decisions, and the unearthing of
The peaceful tranquility of the garden was shattered by a chilling scream that echoed through the air, tearing through the silence. Faith was instantly jolted from her reverie. The sound was unmistakable – it was the cry of her beloved daughter, Echo.Her heart pounding in her chest, Faith's instincts took over as adrenaline surged through her veins. Without a second thought, she sprinted towards the source of the distress faster than everyone else, her mind consumed with a mix of fear and determination. Her footsteps were a blur as she raced across the garden, propelled forward by the sheer force of her motherly love.Finally, they reached the garden, where their eyes settled upon Echo, her tiny frame curled up and tears streaming down her face. Faith's heart ached at the sight in front of her.As she reached the scene, her worst fears were realized. Two menacing rogues, their eyes gleaming with a feral hunger, closed in on Echo. Faith's breath caught in her throat, and her body trem
Selena's heart pounded in her chest, a relentless drumbeat echoing in the silence of her room. The walls seemed to close in on her, suffocating her with their weight. Every breath she took felt labored, as if the air itself had turned heavy with the burden of her emotions.She saw everything from the window of her room. She saw how he cared for Faith. She also got to know that Kendrick and Faith spent the night together in his personal mansion. Things were getting out of her hands.Tears streamed down her face, tracing a path of mascara stains down her cheeks. They were the outward manifestation of the storm that raged within her, a tempest of anger and heartbreak intertwined. Her voice, when she dared to let it escape her trembling lips, was choked with desperation and sorrow."Why? Why doesn't he love me?" she cried out, her voice a pained plea to the uncaring universe. "What's wrong with my face? Am I not beautiful enough?"Her gaze swept across the room, taking in the shattered re
"So, Jackson sent those rogues to poison her to help the witch do his magic?" Steven said."That's what Erin said. She said that she recognized those rogues. They always follow Helen, the witch, around whenever they used to come and visit Jackson." Kendrick said with a dark look on his face."That fucking bastard!" Steven cursed as he was angry as hell at that moment.Kendrick was deep in thought. Things were getting out of his hands very soon. "We have to look into things again, Steven. Without missing anything this time." Kendrick said while rubbing his aching forehead."She is sleeping, right?" Steven asked. "Yeah, the medicines worked." Kendrick answered."You should be there. What if she needs something?" Steven asked."She is sleeping for hours though. But I will just go and check on her." Kendrick said and walked out of the guest room where Steven was staying today.***The pain worsened. Faith just woke up from sleep just a few minutes ago from the pain on her leg and waist
TWO DAYS LATERIN KENDRICK'S OFFICE"Why did you call me here?" Kendrick asked Steven. "Oh, I got to know a few things about Faith." Steven spoke up with a thoughtful look on his face as he thought over if he should discuss the thing about Faith with him or not."What is it?" Kendrick asked in a blank tone as he looked at Steven with a serious look on his face. "I...uhh… it's no…nothing…" Steven hesitated as he was confused about if it would be appropriate to share it with Kendrick. "You forgot to block your mind while thinking, Steven." Kendrick spoke up in an icy cold tone, making Steven shocked. "What?!" Steven exclaimed as he wasn't prepared for it now. He would have to share it all if Kendrick uses his alpha power and commands him, he won't be able to refuse it. "What are you thinking about that Faith? Tell me what it is!" Kendrick demanded while trying to control his anger which was rising up. This anger wasn't because he heard Faith's name. It was because he heard Faith's
"Hey, Faith!" Erin and Miss Stacy greeted her at the same time as soon as they saw her. They both were in the garden, plucking flowers from there. Faith walked toward them after noticing them. "Hey, Erin. Hey, Miss Stacy. How are you both doing?" Faith asked in a low tone as she picked up a yellow rose from the basket where the girls just put the flowers. "We are good but what's wrong with you?" Erin asked with a frown as she noticed a small frown on Faith's face. "Yeah, what's wrong? You look worried about something. Your mood seems a little down as well." Stacy added after Erin with a small frown as well."Well, I will let you guys guess and give you guys a hint." Faith said with an annoyed look on her face. Erin and Stacy looked at each other in confusion before looking back at Faith. "The black cat came my way." Just after Faith completed her sentence, realization immediately drew upon on their faces. "Selena!" "What bad luck!" "I pity you." Erin and Stacy said one after
IN THE EVENINGIN MISS STACY'S SMALL HOUSE"Mommy! Mommy, I want to help!" Echo exclaimed in excitement as she jumped on her seat. She was seated on the kitchen slab as she saw her mother work hard. Faith smiled hearing her adorable baby as she mixed the batter with a whisker. She set down the bowl filled with batter on the slab and looked at Echo with a big smile."And how does my baby plan to help me?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. She absolutely loves Echo and she feels her heart warm up by each of her actions. It's been so long since they shared some mother daughter moments like this."I want to mix it as well." Echo said while giving her a toothy grin. She only has four teeth. She looks so cute when she grins full mouth. She has a dimple which pops out and it makes her look cuter. She chuckled out loud hearing her. She took a little amount of chocolate batter and put it on her nose, making her scrunch his nose to take a look at it. She chuckled again."It's heavy, baby. You c
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 me… 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
