The night after the burial was eerily quiet, as if the world itself was mourning the loss of Mrs. Lauren. Damien sat alone in the pack’s great hall, the dim light from the hearth casting shadows across his face. His eyes were bloodshot from the exhaustion, but he couldn’t sleep. His mind wouldn’t stop racing with memories of his mother, her laughter, her fierce loyalty, the way she always stood by him no matter the storm. And now she was gone, sacrificed for the very family she had built her life around.

The weight of it was suffocating. He could still see the way she had looked at him, even in her final moments determined, protective, loving. She had died protecting what mattered most to her: her family, Elena, the future. And now Damien felt like he had failed her. He hadn’t been there when she needed him most. He had promised to protect her, and now she was gone.

The walls felt as though they were closing in on him. The burden of his grief was heavier than any battle he had fought,

She had tried to console him, to bring him back to bed, but he couldn’t rest. He couldn’t shake the overwhelming feeling that he had failed.

    In the dimly lit confines of Alpha Ralph’s pack house, tension hung thick in the air. The faint flicker of candlelight cast eerie shadows on the walls as Ralph paced restlessly in his office, his jaw clenched tight. He could feel the anger bubbling within him, ready to spill over.“Carl,” Ralph’s voice thundered, echoing against the wooden panels. He turned to face Carl, who stood with his shoulders hunched, his gaze averted, knowing he was in for a severe reprimand. “What were you thinking? Do you have any idea how much you’ve messed up?”Carl’s heart raced as he braced himself for the scolding. He had expected Ralph’s reaction, but hearing it spoken aloud made the gravity of his failure hit hard. “I...I thought we were targeting Damien’s weakness. His mother was a liability..”“A liability?” Ralph interrupted, his voice rising. “You killed the one person who could have helped us leverage this situation in our favor! Mrs. Lauren was a powerful ally, and now she’s dead, and for what?

    The pack house was abuzz with activity as news of Alpha Alaric’s visit spread. It wasn’t a common occurrence for an Alpha from another pack to visit so soon after a child’s birth, but Alaric had insisted, bringing with him gifts and offerings for baby Luna. His peaceful visit had been arranged after tensions between the two packs had begun to ease, and Damien—though wary—decided to accept the gesture.When Alaric’s convoy arrived, it was nothing short of impressive.
