In the dimly lit room, the flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on the peeling wallpaper, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The man's face remained shrouded in darkness, intensifying his enigmatic presence. The little boy, no more than eight years old, stood nervously before him, his small frame trembling with fear and anticipation.

He had stumbled upon the man while exploring the abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the town. The man's sudden appearance had startled the boy, but there was something mesmerizing about him that kept the child rooted to the spot.

As the man spoke, his voice sent chills down the boy's spine. The sinister tone held a promise of great power, a temptation that both intrigued and frightened the young mind. The boy wondered who this man was and how he knew about the dormant potential within him.

Kendrick asked, his voice filled with concern."They are going through the best treatment, Kendrick. They are recovering fast. Their wolves are surfacing back and reacting to the treatment as well," Kendrick's father reassured him, a glimmer of hope in his eyes."Don't worry, Faith. We are going to save your parents at any cost. They are going to be fine. At least that will lessen the guilt a little for all the mistreatment we showed you," Kendrick's mother said, her voice laced with remorse."Please don't say that, queen. I have forgiven you already. You saved my parents. I am forever grateful to you," Faith replied, her heart touched by their efforts."Thank you so much, dear," Kendrick's mother said, pulling Faith into a heartfelt hug, emotions overwhelming her."Kendrick, we have sent Selena b

    MATURE CONTENT AHEADFLASHBACK CONTINUES Kendrick marked her while she was shifting and she shifted into a big black beautiful wolf. He was left in awe. She clung to him since then after her shifting was done as she turned back to her human form. She was naked, in his arms, as he brought her to his room and dropped her on his bed slowly. "You are mine!" He claimed in a possessive tone and she nodded at him shyly, making him happy. She couldn't utter a single word as her whole body was burning in desire and she was yearning to be touched by him. "I am going to make you mine today." He said as he laid flat against her groin as she laid down on the soft bed. Previous pain from the marking was gone and pleasure spreaded through her body and all she wanted to do was strip naked with him.His wild eyes seemed to study her, and she didn't know how long she had been staring at his eyes. "Do you understand that?" His piercing eyes asked her.She couldn't utter a word with those eyes on her,

Kendrick stood near the door, dressed in his regal attire, ready to depart for a short while to attend to some pressing matters. Faith, however, looked visibly anxious, clutching onto the edge of her dress as she stared at him with worried eyes."Kendrick, please don't go," Faith pleaded, her voice trembling. "I'm scared to be alone. What if someone attacks me?"Kendrick stepped closer to her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her fears. "I understand your worries, Faith, but I promise you, it won't take long," he said reassuringly. "I need to take care of some urgent matters, and then we'll leave for my kingdom, where you'll be safe from all harm. Nothing will happen to you. Also my guards are here. Just don't go anywhere."His words brought a glimmer of hope to Faith's eyes, but the fear still lingered. "But what if some

"Just tell us what we need to do."Thea nodded appreciatively. "To perform the magic, I need a connection to both of you and your son. The strongest connection can be formed through a mixture of your blood," she explained. "It will help me focus the magic and locate your son with greater accuracy."Faith hesitated for a moment, but then she extended her hand towards Thea, palm up. Kendrick followed suit, offering his hand as wel

    "Good evening, everyone!" Faith said with a loud and clear tone while having a bright smile. She was standing on the third floor of the palace while looking down at hundreds of pack members who gathered around in the second floor and living room. They all looked up at her with a similar smile as her. They have accepted her…they even apologized to her earlier. She felt overwhelmed with all the emotions."Good evening, Queen." The pack house boomed as they all wished her back together. Faith literally has to close her ears to stop her ears from bleeding. The noise was so loud but it was so heartwarming that she chuckled out in happiness. "I have never seen them wish Kendrick so enthusiastically." Kendrick's father joked with a smirk, making Faith, Kendrick's mother and Thea chuckle. While Steven smirked back at him. "If I had said this, he was going to hang me upside down from this railing for stating the obvious truth." Steven joked and everyone's face grimaced thinking how true tha

    "Sorry for coming late, Kendrick. I was training with Steven and Thea. They bullied me as I never had any official training. But guess what I did?! I used my Lycan and wolf's power and taught them lesson." Faith said in a cheerful tone while getting inside the room. She closed the door behind her and walked toward the closet while talking. She brought a towel out of the closet along with a box and shirt. She kept sharing a few more moments with everyone while drying her hair. Then she walked toward the bed with the box and shirt and took a seat beside a sleeping Kendrick."Hmm... So, Mr King. Did you miss me?" He asked while slowly putting her arms behind his neck and pulling him up in a seating position. She made him lean against the headboard before looking at his face with a smile once again. As if he could see her and she was looking him in the eyes. "Well, I missed you a lot. But now, don't get angry because I didn't come here all day. Your pack is huge! The responsibility of t

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.

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?

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.

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
