"Grandma? Grandma, are you there?" Jackson's voice trembled in irritation which he tried to hide so hard as he tentatively knocked on the door of the darkest room in his mansion. This room gave him an inexplicable sense of dread, and every fiber of his being screamed at him to turn away. He didn't want to come here, but his father's stern words had forced him into this nerve-wracking encounter."Grandma?!" The desperation in his voice grew as he received no response after what felt like an eternity. He pounded on the door with increasing urgency, hoping against hope for any sign of life from within."I am here, you stupid werewolf! Don't shout!" A shrill, grating voice pierced through the heavy wooden door, making Jackson's skin crawl with unease. He rolled his eyes, trying to muster the strength to face the inevitable discomfort that lay beyond the door."I am coming in," he stammered, finally pushing the door open just a crack. Stepping inside, he was immediately met with an overwhel
"Wh..why do I have to reject my mate...?" Faith asked in a confused and broken tone. The thought of doing that to Kendrick and herself shook her to the core. She couldn't do that…But it was for Echo…her daughter. She won't be able to forgive herself if anything happens to her daughter. Because she was taken away by Steven just because she wasn't with her as she was busy being selfish!"Witches like Helen's power feed on bonds like yours and the king. And her youth feeds on young blood. Helen has already done way too much magic on you. One of them is meddling with you and Kendrick's mate bond." Thea explained and the hall fell into silence once again."So, in order to stop her from receiving power from me, I need to reject him?" Faith asked once again. Kendrick was silent all this while. Faith couldn't muster up the courage to even look at him."Yes. You are a big source of her power. But that is just to stop her for the time being. Also, she is unable to sacrifice Echo on the red moon
Loud sound of water splashing around woke Faith up. She slowly opened her eyes to meet with darkness which scared her a bit at that moment. But instead of freaking out, she calmed herself down as Kendrick's lingering scent assured her that she was safe. She didn't know from where she got that assurance but she just knew. She was laying down when she opened her eyes. She tried to get up and suddenly felt that she wasn't on her bed like she thought she would be. Instead it was soft grass underneath her which tickled her skin. There was a blanket over her body.At that moment, she was confused would be an understatement. Where was she?!She quickly sat up straight and looked around to see that she was in an open space in the forest. There were trees at her left and a big lake at her right. The moonlight was glowing brightly to make her surroundings visible. The moonlight fell on the lake water and it looked like diamonds dancing with the water. Such a beautiful scene it was!That's whe
In the dimly lit room, Thea's heart pounded as she heard Steven's voice behind her. Her body stiffened, but she refused to show any vulnerability. Memories flooded back of their time together, the love they once shared, and the painful rejection that followed. It seemed fate had brought them back together, but the wounds were still fresh, leaving both of them guarded and defensive."What are you doing here?" she asked in a blank tone, trying to mask the fear that was rising within her. Steven's presence sent shivers down her spine, but she refused to let him see her weakness."You shouldn't be getting my scent as you rejected me. I was very quiet. Then how do you know that I am here? Do you witches have eyes at the back of your head?" Steven's voice was laced with bitterness as he entered the room. Thea turned around slowly, meeting his gaze with a mix of anger and sadness. Their past was filled with pain and rejection, and it seemed like the wounds were still fresh for both of them."
"What do you mean by your baby?!" Steven shouted angrily. He felt betrayed. The mate bond is real. The moon goddess paired him with Thea and there is no way back. She was already the ruler of his heart."Steven, calm down." Kendrick, his older brother, tried to calm him down using a strict tone but Steven didn't stop while Thea stood there blankly while looking down. "No, brother. Did you hear her?! She has a baby! She wants to use us. She wants to kill us to save her baby who is not mine! Can you believe her?! How could you do this to me?!" Steven shouted as he felt he was going to break down any moment "Stop shouting at me!" Thea snapped finally, her eyes tearing up finally."How could you do this to me?! I am your mate!" Steven growled, standing in front of her. "I met you just a few days ago! You don't know a shit about my life! You can't blame me!" Thea shouted back, her tears rolling down finally."That's not an excuse, Thea! Witch or werewolf, doesn't matter! We are all desti
IN THE BALCONY Thea stands on the balcony, her tear-streaked face illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight. The night is quiet and serene, but her heart is heavy with sorrow. She clutches the balcony railing, feeling the weight of her perceived ill fate."Why does it always seem like nothing goes right for me? Am I destined to suffer and be unhappy forever?" She whispered to herself, hugging herself as her body with her sobs.The soft rustle of leaves in the night breeze accompanied their tender embrace, as the moon continued its gentle watch over the scene. The balcony overlooked a picturesque cityscape, with twinkling lights in the distance, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. The scent of fresh flowers from nearby pots lingered in the air, mixing with the faint aroma of Thea's tears, a witch's tears.As she sobs softly, Steven quietly emerges from the sliding glass door, sensing her pain. He approaches her from behind, his footsteps barely audible. He has followed her behind
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHTThe atmosphere is tense as Kendrick, Faith, Steven, and Thea gather around a table, determined to rescue Echo from the clutches of Jackson, the kidnapper. The room is dimly lit, with maps and photographs of Jackson scattered across the table."We need to get Echo back. We can't just wait for the authorities to act. Jackson is unpredictable, and we can't risk her safety." Kendrick, firm tone."You're right, Kendrick. We have to take matters into our own hands. But we need a plan, a strategy." Faith nodding and determined "And we have to be careful. Jackson's smart. We can't just barge in and expect to overpower him." Steven agrees"I have an idea. What if we play mind games with Jackson? Make him believe we're on his side, gain his trust, and then find a way to rescue Echo?" Thea determined Kendrick and Faith exchange glances, considering the risky proposition."It's risky, Thea, but it might be our best chance. What do you suggest?" Kendrick frowning "We kno

She has to complete the task given to her otherwise she will get punishment. It was all very new to her. The work and the punishment. She was a free rogue wolf before who used to work hard to live her life. She was happy with that but it all changed suddenly when she was captured by the alpha of this pack, Jackson. He made her the slave of the pack and she met Faith. Her only friend.Faith ran away a few days and she was caught as well. She is in a coma and Erin is very worried for her. She was her only friend and she was very caring. So, Erin also promised to herself to take care of her. Hence sometimes she does Faith's part of work as well. "What are you going to do about that Faith? She is pregnant." Erin stopped at her track after hearing that sentence. She looked around to find herself in front of the office room of the alpha's. She
