Emily was getting ready to go for her morning session at the training center when she heard a loud noise in her head like someone was trying to mind-link her but it certainly was not so clear. "Emily, Emily...Can you hear me Emily." The voice in her head said. "Who is this? Beta Drex?" Emily asked not really sure of the voice as she wasn't hearing really well. "Yes Emily, it's me." Beta Drex was still talking when Emily cut in mid-way. "I can't here you properly, can you please come closer? I will soon be out to so we can probably meet Emily said and closed the mind-link. "Emily, are you there?" Beta Drex asked but didn't get any response. "Come on, get back on your horses, we are going further." Beta Drex ordered. Emily quickly finished getting ready and rushed out of her house, her mind still filled with confusion and curiosity. As she made her way to the training centre, she couldn't shake off the strange encounter she had just experienced. The voice in her head, claiming to
Emily led Beta Drex away from the bustling training center and into a nearby forest. The sun's gentle rays filtered through the dense canopy, casting an ethereal glow on the path before them. The soft rustling of leaves under their feet provided a soothing soundtrack to their conversation. As they walked deeper into the forest, Emily felt a sense of tranquillity wash over her. The familiar scents of moss and damp earth mingled in the air, creating a comforting ambiance. It was a place she often sought solace in, a sanctuary where she could think clearly and let her emotions settle. Finding a small clearing bathed in dappled sunlight, Emily released Beta Drex's hand and turned to face him. "Alright, Beta Drex," Emily began, her voice steady and resolute. "I'm willing to help you, but I need some answers. Why does Alpha Alexander need information about Princess Amelia? And why is it so secretive?" Beta Drex exhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on the ground for a moment before meeting Emi
“Amelia can you hear me?" Emily's voice came through in Ivy's head. "Ouch, what the fuck?" Ivy screamed as she stepped out of the pack house. "It's Emily, Amy please tell me if you can hear me." Emily said. Ivy stood there, her heart pounding in her chest as she tried to make sense of the mysterious voice echoing in her head. Confusion and fear clouded her thoughts, but a spark of recognition ignited within her when Emily's name was mentioned. But why was she hearing Emily's voice inside her head? And what did she mean by asking if she could hear her? She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, and cautiously replied, "Emily? Is that really you? How... how are you speaking to me like this?" Emily's voice resonated through Ivy's mind once again, filled with both relief and urgency. "It's a mind-link, Amy. We can communicate telepathically. Listen, today is the full moon, and I wanted to see if your wolf has finally awakened. Can you feel any changes within you?" Ivy's eyes
Finally, Emily emerged from the shadows, her figure materializing amidst the trees. A soft rustling sound alerted Ivy to Emily's approach, and Ivy turned to see Emily stepping out from behind the trees. Emily's eyes, the colour of deep amber, locked with Ivy's, conveying both understanding and determination. The young woman's dark hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she moved with an air of confidence that seemed to belie the mysterious world they were about to embark upon. "Amy," Emily called out softly, her voice carrying the weight of her friends burden. "Are you ready?" Ivy nodded, her heart thudding in her chest as she pushed herself away from the tree. She stepped forward, meeting Emily halfway, their gazes locked in a silent pact. The air crackled with a charged energy as the two women stood face to face. Emily's lips curved into a reassuring smile as she approached Ivy. "I am so glad that you are finally experiencing this, I have anticipated this moment for as long as I c
“Oh No! This is not happening to me" Ivy mumbled under her breath. "What is the matter, Amy? You look worried all of a sudden." Emily asked with worry etched on her face. "I can't do this, why am I like this? What have you guys done to me?" Ivy cried out loud as she began to move backwards. "Amy, it's not like that, You have waited for this day all your life, why are you acting so strange all of a sudden?" Emily threw her hand forward in a comforting way for Ivy to take them. But instead, the wolf kept moving back, obviously controlled by Ivy's present emotions. Before Emily could take any step near Amelia's wolf, she started a run, into the woods. "Miss Ivy, No... Please don't do this, I have waited for this moment all my life, at least now my family would have little respect for me. Please don't run away, please..." Amelia's voice cried in the head of her wolf. "Do you even realise what you are saying? I woke up trapped in the body of another, now sharing a body with another
Ivy pretended like she didn’t hear what Amelia had said and just continued swimming from end to end in the cool pool of water. “Miss Ivy... we need to go now before it becomes too late,” Amelia said in fear but her plea fell on the same deaf ears. As Ivy stood in the soothing waters of the tranquil lake, she began to hear unusual sounds. The rustling of bushes and the rapid movement of trees reached her ears, like the rush of a heavy wind through the forest. Her senses sharpened as she realized something was amiss, and a feeling of unease crept over her. The mysterious sounds continued, growing louder and closer as if someone or something was approaching. Ivy's heart pounded in her chest, and she glanced around, searching for the source of the disturbance. Her instincts were on high alert. “Who are You? Show your face” Ivy echoed in a firm voice, though her heart was filled with fear. Just when the cacophony of movement reached its peak, the rustling abruptly ceased. Ivy's gaze l
**Kinsmen Pack**"Why have a house, when you spend more than twenty hours of your day in the forest?" Alpha Alexander said to his twin brother who was trying to quietly walk past him. "Alexander, always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong," Jake muttered as he stopped and turned to face his brother.Alexander raised an eyebrow, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "Well, brother, it's hard not to when you're wandering around the forest like some lone wolf.""Hmm..." Jake sighed heavily. "And how is that your business?" "Well... not like I care but for someone who desperately wants to be the head of the pack, you sure move out a lot." "Stay out of my business" Jake clenched his fists, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "You don't understand, Alexander. There's more to life than being Alpha. But nevertheless, you should enjoy your tenure while it lasts. Once I have the woman of my dreams in my arms, I'm taking the throne."Alexander chuckled, a smug grin playing on h
**Four hours earlier** 6:00 pmAs the evening sun cast a warm, golden hue over the pack's territory, the maids diligently prepared dinner, ensuring every dish was ready before everyone became hungry.Stephanie, a diligent member of the staff, approached the dining table with the final bowl of food cradled in her hands. Her voice was gentle as she inquired, "Is everything set over there?"One of the other maids, her focus unwavering on the array of dishes before her, nodded in response. "Yes, that should be all for now, unless anyone has a special request."With a sense of satisfaction, Stephanie gently placed the bowl on the meticulously arranged table and then wiped her hands with her apron, which went from her neck down to her knees.Just as they were about to announce that dinner had been served, Luna Mira approached the dining area, her steps sluggish, indicating how tired she was after such a stressful day."Dinner is ready?" Luna Mira inquired, her eyes settling on the sumptuou
“Oh, that..." Emily said in a high-pitched voice as she tried to come up with something in her head."Let me do the talking..." Ivy pleaded.Emily knew she couldn't trust Amelia's memory as they could fail them at any point. "Are you sure?" She asked. "Don't worry Amy, I would speak.""Can one of you just say something already, anyone." Alpha Dave's voice came through, disrupting their little argument."Girl I got this, trust me..." Ivy said placing her hand on Emily's shoulder."You sure" Emily mouthed.Ivy began with a mouth full of food, "I know my memory has been really bad after the incident, but one thing you should know is that a book lover never forgets... Excuse me." She coughed and then reached out for a glass of water. "As I was saying, one thing you should know..." Another round of coughing began."Here, have this" Emily offered her another glass of water."What is wrong, Amelia?" Luna Mira asked, trying to show her concern."I guess she choked on her food," Emily replied
“What if he did?" Ivy blurted out."Let's remain positive Amy, I believe he couldn't have done anything with you and I just keep hoping it is true," Emily said as she grabbed Ivy into another round of hugging."Knock, knock" Luna Mira's voice came from behind the door."Come on in""Are you both better now?" She asked, sounding a bit worried. "You know all those things are in the past, you shouldn't allow them to affect your mood." She continued, placing a gentle hand on both girls."What if they happen again?" Emily asked."We have fought so hard, and we will still fight for our freedom, anytime we are required to." Luna Mira breathed a sigh of relief. "Now to the main reason I came here, I wanted to inform you both that lunch is ready and we are expecting you guys at the table.""Alright, we will be there soon, give us a few minutes," Ivy replied throwing her legs down from the bed.On hearing this, Luna Mira walked out of the room and headed for the dining table where Alpha Dave an
"Are you sure?" Emily asked, quite confused."I guess there is a misunderstanding somewhere. Where did you say you met him first?" Beta Drex turned to Ivy, determined to get things straight."At the lake, I think outside the pack's border," Ivy replied."Outside the pack's border?" Alpha Alexander and Beta Drex chorused."Immediately he heard Emily's voice, he fled into the woods and began to jump from one tree to another. ""Jake?" Alpha Alexander blurted out, his voice filled with rage.“Jake?""I don't know his name," Ivy explained. "I was too angry to ask.""It's Jake, I am very sure of that." Alpha Alexander confirmed."Now everything makes sense." Beta Drex said, nodding his head continuously.Alpha Alexander was already boiling with anger at the thought of what Ivy had said, his mate had been with his brother and they even kissed. Just then he remembered how Jake was confidently talking about the woman he loves."Damn it" He yelled in anger."Who is Jake?" Ivy inquired."Did he
“Dad..." Ivy muttered, trying to bribe her way out of the situation."I need answers, I can't let you leave this house after what happened yesterday." Alpha Dave continued."I already gave them my permission. Besides, Stephanie is going with them." Luna Mira chimed in."Even at that, you should have come to me to ask for my permission." Alpha Dave insisted."I'm sorry Dad... But I just need to clear my head, after everything that has happened, I need to have Some timeout. Besides it's the library.""Yes, we won't even be anywhere close to the borders." Emily chimed in."Hmmm" Alpha Dave sighed, knowing he had lost in this argument. "Fine, you can go. But make sure you are not late.""Of course, it's going to be brief""Stephanie, take good care of them, keep your eyes on them and be alert, in case you sense any threat, mind-link us immediately.""Alright Alpha Dave" Stephanie took a bow before leaving with the girls."Thank you, Alpha Dave," Emily said in excitement as they made their
Luna Mira, momentarily diverted from her conversation with Amelia, inquired, "What's the matter?"Emily hesitated, a subtle unease taking hold. "Nothing much, but I think someone is attempting to establish a mind link with me. If you don't mind, I'd like to excuse myself."With a nod of understanding, Luna Mira replied, "Of course, you should go. It might be something important." Emily quietly left the room.In the solitude of her own mind, she tentatively reached out. "Hello... are you still there?"A swift response came, "Of course I am.""Beta Drex?" Emily paused, seeking confirmation."Yeah, it's me," came the prompt reply."You're in my head, which means you're nearby. What brings you here?" Emily inquired, still taken aback."Alpha Alexander wants to see her," Beta Drex conveyed."Her? Which 'her' are you referring to?" Emily asked, utterly caught off guard."Amelia, have you forgotten so soon?" Beta Drex's voice echoed with a hint of reproach.Emily sighed her thoughts in turmo
“I... I don't know" Emily stammered. "While we raced, she exceeded the pack's territory and I found her at the lake, She was already shivering when I got there." The room buzzed with concern as the doctor worked diligently to stabilize Ivy's condition, meanwhile, the conversation between Grandfather and Emily shed some light on the circumstances surrounding Ivy's state. The mention of the lake and Ivy being found shivering raised further questions and concerns.Luna Mira's maternal instincts kicked in as she worriedly asked, "Lake? Why didn't you say that, she must have been dying of cold."Emily, her voice tinged with regret, admitted, "I thought it might not be needed, I guess I was wrong after all."The realization that Ivy might have been exposed to extreme cold at the lake added a new dimension of worry to that which was already present."Let's not get all worked up; she is going to be fine," Alpha Dave reassured them. "Besides, it's late already. Beta Zoe, you should take Emily
Emily nodded firmly, her conviction unwavering. "I swear, Luna Mira, I saw it with my own eyes. Amelia shifted into her wolf form right there in front of me."Alpha Dave, still processing the sudden turn of events, asked, "But how is that possible? We all thought Amelia was a late bloomer, that she wouldn't be seeing her wolf anytime soon.""I didn’t sign up for any of this, What have you guys done to me? What else am I yet to see?" Ivy asked, her confusion evident in the way she looked.Beta Zoe found himself at a loss for words. "This is... unexpected," he admitted, his brows furrowing in thought.Luna Mira, her maternal concern now mingled with disbelief, turned her attention to Emily. "Emily, dear, could you describe what you saw? Are you sure it was Amelia's wolf?"Grandfather entered the living room, his presence commanding attention. His voice carried a hint of curiosity as he asked, "What is going on here? You mean Amelia was not in her room while we had dinner?"Alpha Dave sh
“Get away from the girls!" A commanding voice pierced through the tense forest air, causing Emily's heart to skip a beat. Amidst the looming danger, her father's voice acted as a lifeline, instantly lifting the heavy burden of fear from her shoulders."Daddy!!!" Emily's voice erupted with newfound hope, her eyes scanning the dense forest, desperately seeking the familiar figure responsible for that reassuring voice. She clung tightly to Ivy's hand and urgently whispered, "Amy, that's my dad. He's here to rescue us."Within split seconds, the monstrous wolf before they retreated, vanishing into the nearest escape route.Ivy, who had been just as frightened as Emily, looked in the direction of the voice. The tension in her body eased slightly as she recognized the comforting tone of Beta Zoe's voice. She had few encounters with him lately so it wasn't so hard to capture the voice."Beta Zoe," Ivy called out, as she held Emily's hand tightly, she was still in shock from what had just hap
**Present time** 10:00 pm"Are you trying to get us killed or something? Why did you come here?"Emily spoke in fear as she reached out to Ivy who was still shivering in the water."Please help me, any more second in this water and I could be dead.""I need to find something to cover you, wolves are scattered around everywhere tonight because of the full moon. I can't let you be seen naked." Emily said with a sense of urgency as she looked around in the woods for something she could use to cover Ivy."Please be quick""Man... I am trying my best, do you expect me to find clothes so easily, here in the woods? I mean no one keeps their clothes in the woods hoping that someone might need them someday.Emily frantically searched the surrounding woods for anything that could be used to cover Ivy. Leaves, branches, or even a discarded piece of cloth would suffice. But the forest remained unyielding, offering nothing to conceal Ivy's nudity."Emily, hurry up," Ivy pleaded, her teeth chatter
