IN THE JUNGLE "Where are you? Come out! I am here. Why did you call me suddenly!" Faith looked around in nothing but darkness as she shouted in the air. She was in the middle of the forest where she was looking at all day today, for this moment. Thea messaged her and said she was going to do some ritual now to help her get free from the magics. The moon was shining red, it was a full red moon night while her life was slowly getting uncovered from darkness. She was in a frantic state as she could feel her skin start burning slowly. Her wolf was with her mentally at least. She could only talk to her right now. Her powers aren't recovered yet.She was feeling anxious. Kendrick might be starting the process of marking Selena and that's why her anxiousness was increasing. She needs to get out of here as soon as possible after getting the solution. Because the reason she was here can get her into deep problems. What she came to do here is forbidden in packs and it was worth getting punish
"I will fucking kill you!" Kendrick growled at Jackson as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Faith. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn't believe that Kendrick came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn't be dying or be going with Jackson. She knew Kendrick won't let that happen in a million years. She didn't know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!"Don't interfere here, Kendrick. It's none of your business!" Jackson growled at Kendrick after getting up from the ground. He tried to take a step toward them but Kendrick's one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That's the power he held. Even Jackson's warriors weren't brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? It ran away already."How dare you say that to me?!
"Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!" Kendrick's loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building. But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain. But he wasn't feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn't feel it even a little bit. The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn't bear to look at Faith, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won't be able to forgive himself if something happens to her. Heck, he would die! What's happening to him?!"Oh my god, king. She is in a very bad state. It's going to be hard saving her." The doctor said immediately after he saw the state of Faith. She was almost dead. Her heartbeat was hardly there. She was breathing very slowly as well
Kendrick held Faith's small and cold hand tightly in his large fist while looking at her carefully. Her face was filled with different wounds and cuts. He slowly and shakily raised his hands and touched her face delicately as if she would break down any moment. And all the places he was touching, the marks were vanishing into thin air. The power of mate bond…"W…Echo… Echo… Echo…" He immediately pulled his hands away when he heard her coming back to consciousness. He was shocked to see her coming back to consciousness so fast. And he was more astonished seeing her calling for her daughter for the first time after coming back to consciousness from such a big accident. Maybe it was just her strong motherly instinct…She opened her eyes and groaned in pain when she went to sit up abruptly. "Careful! Don't move so fast. You are going to open up your wounds." He warned while holding her hands. She looked at him confused first and then in anger before she pushed him away with a hard pus
(All the previous chapters have been edited. Please refresh and read them. Thank you.)"What is it, Selena? I don't have time for this." Kendrick asked in a blank tone as soon as they were inside his office room, in the palace. He didn't look at her. He just wanted to get over this as soon as possible. "How? How could you do this to me? I didn't expect this from you." Selena exclaimed while crying as she walked toward her and stood in front of him, forcing him to look at her. "What are you talking about, Selena?" He stepped away from her while still not looking at her and it frustrated her beyond limit. She went near him once and clutched his collar and made him look at him. He didn't like that at all but didn't say anything at that moment."You really don't know what I am talking about? Seriously? Now this is how we are going to do this?" She shouted while shaking him by the collar. He gritted his teeth and tried to act calmly and patiently while dealing with this matter. "Selena,
"Steven, where were you?" Kendrick exclaimed, his frustration evident in his furrowed brows and the sharp edge to his voice. As soon as he spotted his younger brother entering the palace, urgency surged through his entire being. He hadn't expected Steven to be out at this late hour, and the sight only added to his mounting concern.Steven met Kendrick's gaze, mirroring his frown and displaying a mix of weariness and apprehension. The weight of their unspoken worries hung in the air, visible in the creases that formed between Steven's brows."I had some work," Steven responded, his voice tinged with defensiveness, though he averted his gaze, unable to hold Kendrick's piercing stare. The words held a hint of unspoken meaning, hinting at the burdens he carried."This late at night?" Kendrick raised an eyebrow, his frustration giving way to a genuine concern that lurked beneath the surface."Yes, it's nothing important," Steven replied, his tone flat and distant, as if trying to distance
"Faith!" Kendrick burst into the room, his footsteps echoing with urgency. His heart raced, pounding against his chest as he scanned the room, his brow furrowing with worry. The sight of three people restraining Faith fueled his growing sense of alarm, and he felt a knot of dread tightening in his stomach."Kendrick!" Faith's voice cut through the chaotic scene, and the moment their eyes locked, the others released their grip on her. She rushed toward him, seeking solace and safety in his embrace. Kendrick's arms wrapped around her without a second thought, pulling her close and holding her tightly. As he held her, his heart hammered against his ribcage, the racing beats reflecting the worst-case scenarios that raced through his mind."What happened? Are you hurt? Are you in pain? Why did you shout?" Kendrick's words spilled out in a torrent of concern, his voice tinged with fear. He examined Faith's face and body with meticulous care, desperately searching for any signs of injury. Rel
THE NEXT MORNINGFaith woke up with the sound of a bird chirping and the bright sunlight coming from the open window made her go blind. Who opened the window? She remembers it being closed last night. She slowly sat up by leaning against the headboard. Was it Kendrick? She was back in Kendrick's room. She looked around to find the sight of him and found the room empty. She frowned a little seeing that. As far as she remembers, he was here till the end of the night. She woke up once again at night and found him sleeping beside her. He was sitting down but his head was kneeled down beside him, on the bed. She was lost at that moment, just like she is lost now. She didn't know what to feel at that moment. She didn't know what to feel toward the situation, toward everyone and toward... Kendrick. She was in confusion and in defense. The defense was to save herself from feeling something stupid. She remembers her past and how much he loved her but at the same time, years later, he didn
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
