"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
IN JACKSON'S "Tomorrow is the day, Jackson." Jackson's father, John said with an evil look on his face. "I know and I hope you all know what to do as well." Jackson said with gritted teeth while looking outside the window, at the dark forest ahead. "We all know and we are prepared but do you still think it's going to be a good idea to get into his party?" John asked with a frown of worry. He was doubting their plans at the end moment which they have been making for the past week. "And why do you think it's not a good idea?" Jackson asked in anger. He didn't like his own father doubting their plan. "Because it's Kendrick, a real Lycan. Unlike you. And unfortunately we are under him, his territory. He is our alpha as well until the final ceremony. So, if we barg into his party like this, he has full rights to take actions against us. On top of that, he was already looking for an opportunity to do that." John tried to make sense but Jackson didn't pay heed to his words. "You are sca
ON THE PARTY DAY "Faith! What are you still doing? And why aren't you ready yet?!" Miss Stacy exclaimed in shock, her tone lacked patience. She looked worried yet a little angry seeing Faith, the person she came to love even though they didn't get much time together. "Uh... I don't think it's a good idea for a maid like me to join the party ..." Faith tried to give reasons but Miss Stacy wasn't going to have it. "Shut up. Don't anger me, dear! And go and get ready. You have only five minutes to get ready." Miss Stacy said in a threatening tone. She sounded like how a mother would have sounded. Faith shook her head at her and let out a sigh. "First of all, it's only six in the afternoon and the party starts at eight in the evening. If I wanted to go, I would have had infinite time to do that. And secondly I really don't think it's going to be right for me to go. Also, who is going to take care of Echo if I go to a damn party I don't have any connection and interest in?" Faith said w
IN THE PARTY HALL"Echo... Baby...you are a good girl, right? Please don't cry. Please listen to nannah." Miss Stacy tried to calm the crying child down but Echo wasn't having any of it. She cried harder, grabbing all the attention around them. "Mommy! Where is mommy?! I want mommy. I want to go to mommy! Take me to mommy. Mommy..." She cried and shouted. Everyone looked at her in annoyance, making Miss Stacy and Erin really nervous. "Oh, my god, Miss Stacy! We need to calm her down as soon as possible. She is annoying the people here. We won't be able to keep them calm for long. They can get ruthless at the "betrayer's pup" for ruining their peace at the party. Where is Faith?" Erin asked in a worried tone while looking at people who were glaring at Echo badly, scaring the poor kid more.Kendrick and Steven's parents weren't present at the party. The party's starting will be announced in a few seconds. As Kendrick's brother and second in command, Steven was with him to accompany him
"Last time I was weak and bound by magic. This time I am not. So, choose your words wisely. Don't dare you call my son a bastard, YOUR HIGHNESS."Everyone in the ballroom turned to look at the entrance at the same time. They all turned their heads so fast that it made a sound with the air. The intensity of the voice was so powerful that everyone was forced to look at it that way. As soon as they looked at the entrance, the room filled with the sound of everyone taking a sharp breath in. Because the person standing there literally took everyone's breath away. Faith stood there in confidence and ran her eyes over the room, looking at every person in the eyes, as if to intimidate them. She smirked when she saw that she did a good job at that because most of them looked down immediately after their eyes met her. At last her eyes stopped at one particular pair of grey eyes and everything else stopped.Her aura at that moment was anything but a simple maid. And her look! Her look was simpl
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
