Garrett broke the silence."Look, Liam," he said, his tone softer and his jaw set, "I know it's hard. I've been there. But if you want a chance with her, you have to take it slow. Get to know her, and spend time with her. Don't rush things, or you'll scare her off for good."Liam clenched his fists,
Liam's wolf jumped with joy as he sat beside Nicole. It had been so long since she had willingly let him come close. They sat in comfortable silence for a while, enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. Liam felt a sense of contentment wash over him. Being with her at that moment felt right.As the da
Long after training had ended, Nicole asked herself why, despite everything, she had only noticed a change in herself when she interacted with Liam, especially when they touched. The effect of his mark on her had faded with her wolf. She wasn't supposed to be affected by him, yet he was indirectly
The next morning, she woke up with a familiar feeling in her chest. It was another small vibration that made her jolt up in bed. The faint sensation made her happy.She quickly got dressed and went to find Asha. She burst into Asha's room in the packhouse, almost jumping with joy."Is everything oka
"Liam," she whispered. At the same time, her eyes fell on Garrett, who looked away. She quickly looked away too, not failing to catch the glint of anger in his eyes. Nicole was confused. Her brain was befuddled.Liam caught her by her arm and pulled her into his body.Her wolf purred again, as she
Liam paced back and forth with his arms crossed behind his back, with the Pack stakeholders surrounding him. They were discussing the coming full moon and some strategies to figure out why the witch was after Liam."It doesn't make sense," Garrett mused."There has to be something," Connor added, "t
Slowly and steadily, Nicole's wolf returned. It grew stronger, and soon, she began to display some unique abilities that even Liam was surprised to see. Her senses were sharper, allowing her to detect motions and waves of energy easily.It amazed Liam. While watching her train, he battled with the n
One day, as they were walking in the forest, Asha asked her to concentrate on a nearby tree. "Just feel the tree," Asha said. "Can you feel any energy around it?"Nicole concentrated and soon felt a strange energy around the tree. She didn't understand it. It was like nothing she had ever felt befor
“Stop bluffing.” Marisol's smile dropped the moment the dagger slipped into her hands. “We both know that I'm not bluffing, witch.”Before Guinevere could react, Marisol drove the dagger into her heart in one forceful swing. Her eyes blew wide, and she fell right on top of Marisol, pained choking s
The air crackled with magic, and their surroundings became a battlefield of elemental forces. Marisol conjured torrents of fire, sending waves of intense heat crashing towards Guinevere. But Guinevere laughed, her own magic swirling around her like a shield as she countered with blasts of icy spears
Marisol ended up in a dimly lit chamber, the air thick with ancient magic and foreboding. Her grip on the dagger tightened, its energy pulsing against her skin as if urging her forward.She didn't know where she was or how she got there. All she did was allow her senses to lead her, and it seemed th
By the time the truth had fully sunk in, Cedric was a whirlwind of fury and grief. He turned on Leticia, his eyes blazing with a primal rage as he grabbed her roughly, his grip like a vice around her throat."Cedric, stop!" Caleb's voice rang out, his tone commanding. "This won't bring Marisol back.
Caleb's brow pinched in concern as he took in Cedric's disheveled state. “How? Was Guinevere here?” He looked around frantically and found no sign of infiltration. He turned back to his brother. “Don't worry, we'll find her," he assured, his voice a steady anchor within the chaos that was Cedric's m
In the hushed stillness of the night, when the world lay shrouded in darkness and all was quiet, Marisol rolled out of bed. It was time.She knew what she had to do. A sense of duty pulsed through her veins, driving her from the warmth of her bed.Silently slipping out from beneath the covers, she m
Marisol's heart swelled with conflicting emotions at Cedric's declaration. His eyes, conveying his utmost sincerity, almost had her bursting into tears where she sat. Instead, she forced a smile, her applause joining in with the others, though inside, she felt a pang of sadness.“That's wonderful ne
A smile spread across Marisol's face as she turned around in his arms to face him. “Nervous? Why on earth…”“Okay, I was nervous on your behalf.” He admitted with a sheepish grin, and Marisol regarded him with a fond smile. “But Leticia was right. When we retreated, they prowled around aimlessly for
Marisol stepped out of Leticia's chambers with a million thoughts bubbling in her head. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. Maybe she wanted to do both. It was so unfair. Her parents had told her she was destined for greatness. Was this fate's idea of greatness? To be made to sacrifice
