Caleb still remembers how he felt when he learned about all of this. After being away from Redwood, exploring and adventuring, he'd been enraged and beyond devastated at the state he'd found his pack and only surviving family. The worst part was that no one had been willing to let him in on all tha
3 months earlier Caleb sat at his desk, surrounded by paperwork and files containing the financial records of the pack. His brow furrowed as he sifted through the incomplete and scattered information. The missing pieces, crucial for restoring the pack's stability, were nowhere to be found. The only
Caleb's eyes widen in interest, Sophia nods, "I know it's a lot to ask, but sometimes unexpected solutions come from unexpected places," she encourages, “Let's go in.”The heavy door creaks open from the force of her push, revealing a room cloaked in shadows. As Caleb stepped inside, his breath caug
Caleb feels his brows twitch in irritation, and his wolf roars within him, equally taking offence at her words. However, her words were not lies. It was the bitter truth he had admitted to his own self a long time ago. He did not belong here, and he was already being suffocated with the weight of th
The annual ball, combined with Marisol's birthday celebration, presented the perfect opportunity to set their plan into motion. It was the best and possibly the only way he could infiltrate the Dark Moon Pack and get close enough to Marisol without rousing suspicion, which could thwart their whole s
Leticia nods knowingly. "The forces at play are intricate, Alpha Caleb. Marisol is no ordinary pawn in this cosmic chessboard. Her destiny intertwines with yours in ways you have yet to fathom."Caleb leans forward, fingers clasping together as his eyes seek clarity. An advice, a supposition so as t
He bumps into Sophia on his way back, and she regards him with an expectant look as she looks between him and Leticia's door with a raised brow. "Caleb, what did she say?" she asks, tenderly, her wolf sensing Caleb's unconcealed anger and disconcerted state.Exasperation is evident in his tone as h
She bares her teeth at him and growls, the animosity wafting out of her in waves. "You!" She growls, "What do you want from me?"Sophia is immediately dashing closer to try and help her mate, a growl leaving her lips, but Caleb raises a hand, stopping her in her tracks even as his throat bobs heavil
“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
