Mate’s revenge THE FIRST STRIKE
As the pack paused at the boundary, their breaths visible in the chilly night, the air was heavy with tension. Ahead, the foreboding rustle of the trees blended with the lingering smell of blood and ash. Dominick paced in the front, watching for the first movement in the shadows."Remain alert," he yelled. "They will arrive quickly and forcefully. Remain firm. Defend one another. Nobody fights by themselves.Marcus gritted his jaw and gripped his blade tighter. "Earlier, I estimated that they had at least 100 members. There are most likely more lurking in the shadows.Dominick gave a somber nod. "Then we make every hit matter."As the first renegade wolves appeared from the treeline, their eyes crimson and their snarls vowing death, a low growl echoed across the pack."They're here," Chelsea said in a strained voice.Dominick signaled silence by raising his hand. With a harsh tone, he said, "Wait for my command."Slowly, with deliberate, predatory movements, the rogues moved forward.

Only the gentle murmurs of those caring for the injured and the occasional muffled sob broke the deafening silence in the pack house. Every soul felt the weight of their loss, and the air was thick with sorrow.With his hands clenched at his sides, Dominick stood in the middle of the room. He looked about at his people, who were tired, hurt, but yet alive. For the time being.Marcus came over, his arm in a homemade sling, his face injured. "Everyone has been accounted for. There were 26 fatalities and 40 injuries. Dom, we are only half as strong as we once were.Dominick's voice was a low growl as his jaw tensed. Eryndor desired to communicate. He stated unequivocally that he is after all we stand for, not just us.Sitting close by, Chelsea scowled at the ground while wearing a bandage over her forehead. "This is not how we can fight him. Not directly.Dominick stated firmly, "We won't." "But we're also not giving up."With shaky steps but unwavering resolve, Lisa walked into the room

As Dominick guided the group through the thick underbrush, the moonlight created long shadows that cut through the strangely quiet forest. With her jaw clenched and her eyes searching the shadows for any indication of danger, Lisa stepped next to him. Marcus, Chelsea, and three of their most reliable fighters trailed behind them, moving silently and cautiously."From the edge of Eryndor's territory, we're about a day's journey away," Marcus whispered, his voice hardly audible. "We will arrive at the stronghold by nightfall tomorrow if we continue at this rate."Dominick looked straight ahead and nodded. "We follow the plan. No needless dangers. If something seems strange, we instantly reorganize."Feels off?" Chelsea's voice was dry as she mumbled. "Everything seems strange. Marching directly into the backyard of Eryndor? What might go wrong?"Enough," Dominick stated sternly, his voice unyielding. We all concurred on this. This is the moment to go back if you have any doubts.Chelsea

Dominick's cold stone at his back provided no solace as his wrists burned against the magical bonds that kept him in place. Eryndor stood with his hands clenched behind him, his presence imposing and oppressive across the darkened room."You're obstinate, Alpha," Eryndor said in a cool but menacing tone. "As someone who says he cares about his people, I had higher expectations. Even though you know you can't win this battle, you're still pulling them all to their deaths.Dominick glared at the warlock as he raised his chin. "You have no leadership experience. My flock will fight because we stand for something you'll never comprehend, not because I make them.Eryndor grinned and took a step forward. "Ah, a doomed man's noble speech." Don't hurt me. I'm not here to argue with you about your beliefs. His penetrating eyes met Dominick's as he bent down. "I'm here to give you an option."Dominick snarled, "I want nothing from you."Eryndor's eyes glinted sinisterly as his smile grew. “Oh,

One could feel the tension in the camp. As pack members stood divided, shouts reverberated throughout the clearing, their voices a clamor of doubt, rage, and fear."He's gone!" The crowd momentarily became silent as a voice bellowed. A warrior with a scar across his cheek, Caleb, stepped forward with a somber expression. "We're sitting ducks if we wait here for Dominick, who isn't coming back.""Enough!" The air echoed with Marcus's Alpha-like authority as he barked. His hands were clenched into fists as he stood tall. Our Alpha is Dominick. We don't give up on ours!Caleb scoffed. What if he's already passed away? Or worse, what if he had taken Eryndor's side? We cannot mindlessly follow someone who may no longer be standing up for us!The audience exploded once more, with some shouting Caleb down and others expressing agreement."Stop it!" Like a razor, Lisa's voice sliced through the cacophony. Her eyes were burning with rage as she took a step forward. "You have no right to doubt
Last Updated : 2025-01-13Mate’s revenge CHAINS OF DARKNESS
As Dominick's body ached once more and the black magic poured through his veins like molten lava, his eyesight became blurry. He clenched his jaw, not wanting to scream. He refused to provide Eryndor with the gratification.Eryndor circled around Dominick, who was bound to the dungeon's icy stone wall, and stated in a mocking tone, "You're strong." "I'll give it to you. However, everyone has their breaking point.Dominick raised his head, blood streaming from his temple, but his eyes were ablaze. "You're more naive than I realized if you believe I'll bow down to you."Eryndor laughed, the sound resonating menacingly. "Oh, Dominick, you don't have to bow to me. All I need is for you to break.The air shimmered about Dominick as he waved his hand, and then Lisa materialized in front of him, her face contorted in pain."Dominick!" With flames all around her, she yelled, her voice full of fear. "Aid me!"“No!” Dominick roared, straining against his chains as he watched the illusion of Lis

The dungeon was silent, save for the faint dripping of water echoing through the stone corridors. Dominick’s breaths were shallow as he stared at the faint crack in the magical chains that bound him. It was small almost imperceptible but it was there, and it was his only hope.He closed his eyes, drawing on the reserves of his strength, both physical and mental. Lisa, I hope you’re out there... because I can’t do this alone.The chains glowed faintly with Eryndor’s dark magic, but Dominick could feel the weakness within them. He shifted his weight, wincing as the movement sent a fresh wave of pain through his body. Gritting his teeth, he yanked hard against the chains.A sharp crack echoed through the chamber, the sound as sweet as music to his ears. The shackle on his right wrist splintered, releasing his arm.“Almost there,” he muttered, tugging at the remaining chains.Suddenly, the door to his cell creaked open, and Dominick froze. A guard stepped in, his eyes narrowing as he saw
Last Updated : 2025-01-13Mate’s revenge THE RETURN OF THE ALPHA
In the middle of the bloody, shadowy battlefield, Dominick and Lisa stood shoulder to shoulder. Their coordinated motions demonstrated their strong connection. While Dominick's claws ripped through opponent after adversary, Lisa's power flared fiercely, leaving streaks of light into the darkness."Go to the left!" When Lisa yelled, Dominick whirled around and slashed at a wolf that was rushing for her."I've got you!" he answered, his voice steady in spite of the fatigue that was engraved on his face.Loyal to Eryndor, the remaining wolves started to withdraw into the forest, their snarls vanishing. The air was thick with the stink of death, and the ground was covered in the bodies of fallen fighters.Lisa's chest heaved as she turned to Dominick. We've pushed back that second wave, but they're getting back together. Eryndor is not finished.Dominick's eyes darted over the battlefield, settling on the injured pack members receiving treatment from healers. His heart tightened. This ski

Mate’s revenge THE PRICE OF POWER
Lisa felt it again the ever-present pull of darkness, thrumming under her skin like a beating of its own. The mirror had shown her a truth she hadn’t been ready to face, and now it felt as if the very shadows of the Moon Goddess were wrapping themselves around her, smothering her. Every breath was harder than the last, and the fight to keep herself in control was becoming unbearable.She stood by the edge of their camp, looking into the forest’s darkness, trying to calm the chaos whirling inside her. Dominick had insisted on staying close, despite her protests. He hovered behind her now, but she didn’t turn to face him. She couldn’t."I can feel it," she whispered, though she wasn’t sure whether she was speaking to him, or to the darkness that clawed at her thoughts. "It’s like it’s alive in me, Dominick. It’s getting stronger with every passing moment. I don’t know how much longer I can fight it."Dominick stepped forward, his movements light but filled with haste. He reached for her
Mate’s revenge THE CURSE OF THE MOON
Lisa stood at the edge of the old ruins, her heart pounding as the weight of their task pushed down on her. Dominick was by her side, his presence a steadying force, but even he couldn’t deny the unease that had settled over their pack.They had come here to find answers, but the ruins were steeped in silence, their old stones worn by centuries of neglect. The air was thick with an eerie energy, and Lisa could feel it in the pit of her stomach something dark, something old, was waiting."Are you sure this is the right place?" Lisa asked, her voice low, almost respectful.Dominick glanced at her, his eyes filled with purpose. "It’s the only place left, Lisa. The old books... they all point here. The answers are hidden in these ruins. We just have to find them."She nodded, but doubts remained in her mind. The pack’s trust in her was weakening. They didn’t say it, but Lisa could feel the strain. She had once been their center, their guide, their link to the Moon Goddess. Now, without th
Mate’s revenge THE BROKEN GODDESS
The first thing Lisa felt was warmth. It wasn’t the kind of warmth that could be mistaken for sunlight or the heat of a fire, but the kind of warmth that pulsed deep within her chest, spreading through her limbs, wrapping around her like a protective embrace.She blinked, slowly opening her eyes. The world around her was blurry at first, fading in and out of focus. But as her senses began to sharpen, she could feel it—the weight of Dominick’s arms around her, holding her close. The familiar scent of him, of the pack, surrounded her, grounding her. And yet, something was wrong.Something was very wrong.Lisa sat up with a sharp gasp, her body trembling from the sheer effort it took to move. She looked around, eyes wide, searching for an answer. The pack was gathered around them, silent, watchful, and… worried. They looked as though they were waiting for something waiting for her."Lisa?" Dominick’s voice was scratchy, filled with a quiet desperation she hadn’t heard before. "Are you ok
Mate’s revenge THE SILENT WAR
As Dominick's hands hovered above Lisa's motionless body, they shook. Even though the combat was done, it seemed like the conflict had only just started. He stared at her chest, looking for some indication that she was still alive. His anguish made every breath feel heavy and shallow. Her face had turned pale and lifeless. Everything he didn't want to know was revealed to him by the blood stains on her clothing."You can't leave. In a ragged echo of the man, he once was, Dominick muttered to her, "You just can't." Leaning down, he brushed a lock of hair away from her face, allowing the tears he had been suppressing to finally fall."Please, Lisa. Get your eyes open. Return to me.Around them, the pack had gathered in stillness. Even though they had prevailed in the fight, it felt meaningless. His evil power had been broken, and Eryndor's citadel had collapsed, but at what price? With her heart as frigid as the stone under her, Lisa, their ray of hope, lay still.Marcus's face was unre
Mate’s revenge THE GODDESS’S LIGHT
There was a lot of darkness in the room, and the shadows were thick and moving around them like living things. The stone floor beneath Dominick was stained with blood as he lay unconscious, his body broken and battered. With tears in her eyes and her heart racing, Lisa knelt next to him, but there was no time for sorrow. She was thinking of only one thing.They all needed to be saved by her.In front of them, tall and victorious, Eryndor's eyes were full of vile laughter. "Lisa, you believe you have won, but the game is far from over." The air felt oppressive, and his voice was like ice. "There is no force or power in this world that can defeat me."Lisa's heart ached as she felt the warmth of Dominick's pulse wane with every second that went by, and her hands shook as she reached out to touch him. Even though she still had a close bond with him and the pack, it wasn't sufficient. Not quite yet.Then something changed within her.Her inner wolf spirit awoke with a roil, its restless e
Mate’s revenge THE STRONGHOLD OF SHADOWS
The pack was positioned before the imposing gates of Eryndor's stronghold, which appeared to have impenetrable walls and a dense, oppressive, and dark aura. The weight of the approaching conflict made the air motionless. With the resolve that had brought them this far, Dominick's eyes were hard and his mind was keen. They would put an end to this now.“All units, move out!” he ordered, his voice like a razor slicing through the quiet.With ferocious determination, the pack charged ahead, their warriors trailing behind. Standing by Dominick's side, Lisa felt the strength of the black magic emanating from the fortress walls, her heart pounding and her thoughts turning into its own battlefield.They were nearly instantly struck by the first wave of rogue wolves, their eyes blazing with the strange light of Eryndor's might. The pack was more than ready, but they were swift, vicious, and unrelenting.With her claws cutting through the air and tearing through the rogue wolves that approache
Mate’s revenge MARCH TO WAR
The vista in front of them was a never-ending length of rocky land and forest that led to the impending fortress of Eryndor. With the burden of the trip bearing down on him, Dominick led the way. The strain in the air was evident, and each step felt like it may be his last. The odds were stacked against them in the impending last fight.Lisa followed closely behind him, her steps steady but her thoughts focused on the future. They both understood the seriousness of the situation, and their closeness was strong despite their inability to express it verbally. Although they all had a part to play, nobody could foresee the cost of winning.Marcus kept up with the others despite the emotional and physical strain of saving Chelsea. Even while his expression was fixed on stern determination, his eyes would occasionally flicker with the wounds from the ambush, both the ones on his body and the ones still present in his heart. Chelsea was almost lost to him. He would not permit such to occur o
Mate’s revenge THE LAST ALLIANCE
Dominick stood at the edge of the camp, surveying his warriors' faces while the wind howled all around him. He felt as though the entire universe was resting on his shoulders. The moment had arrived. They were at their breaking point. Eryndor was too near his objective, too risky. In his bones, Dominick knew that the last battle was coming.The tension in the air was broken by Dominick's voice as she said, "We can't wait for more signs, more opportunities." "Now we fight. We battle together.Though there was a hesitancy and a sense of trepidation, the pack stirred and whispers of agreement rippled through them. They had suffered a great loss. They were still grieving over the loss of their siblings in the previous conflict.Chelsea stepped forward from the crowd and said, "Dominick." Her voice was steady, but her eyes were rimmed in red. You want us to put everything on the line. After everything we've lost... after everything we've endured...Dominick responded, his eyes hardening, "
Mate’s revenge A DANGEROUS GAMBLE
The tension in the camp was high due to the weight of Chelsea's capture. Marcus paced, anger and hopelessness swirling in his head. His fists were clinched at his sides, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was being tormented by the idea of losing her and failing her.Lisa murmured softly, "Marcus," moving into his direct line of sight.He halted his pacing and looked at her, his jaw clenched. "I'm pursuing her." I can't just sit here doing nothing.The unadulterated agony in his voice made Lisa's heart hurt. She was aware of Chelsea's importance to him. "I get it, but we can't just show up without a strategy, Marcus. We shall be met by Eryndor.Marcus shot back, his voice strained and low, "I don't care." There's Chelsea inside. She cannot be left to rot in that hellhole by me.Lisa paused, fully aware of the dangers. After that, we'll travel together. However, we must consider this. Dark magic guards Eryndor's stronghold, and he won't make things simple.For a minute, Marcus's eyes soft
