Drake

The sudden sensation of cold water on my skin jolted me awake, and I sat up, startled and annoyed. I was about to shout in anger, but then I remembered where I was. I was no longer an Alpha, I was just a servant here. I tried to shake off the feelings of indignation, reminding myself that this was the situation I had chosen.

I closed my eyes, focusing on the sound of the water dripping from my body, the feel of the cold stone beneath me. I tried to steady my breathing, to bring myself back to the present moment.

“Get up, you lazy brats,” a voice said, the words sharp and cutting.

I turned to see an older man standing in the doorway, a look of disgust on his face. I looked at the clock, and saw that it was six o'clock. I wanted to scream, to tell him that I had been awake all night, that I was exhausted and sleep-deprived.

But I knew that would only make things worse, so I bit my tongue and forced myself to stand. I gave him a small nod, trying to keep my face impassive.

    Drake“Hey, you,” he said, his voice firm and commanding. I turned, confused, unsure who he was talking to. “Me?” I asked, pointing to myself. “Yes, you,” he replied, his gaze intense. I felt a flush of heat rise to my cheeks, and I tried to swallow the sudden dryness in my throat. “I need to talk to you,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. I nodded, my mind racing with questions, my heart beating wildly.As I approached him, I wondered what he wanted to say. What did Charles want with me? I held my breath, my heart pounding in my chest. As I got closer, I was visibly nervous, fidgeting with my hands. What did he want to tell me? I couldn't help but wonder if he knew where I was from, if he knew about my past. I prayed to the Moon Goddess, hoping that he wouldn't ask about it. I had worked so hard to keep my identity a secret, and I would rather not jeopardize that now.He looked at me, his eyes scanning my face. “You look new here,” he said, his voice low and steady

    Drake“Hey, guys!” I said, forcing a smile onto my face as I sat down with them. “What's up, newbie?” one of them asked, his eyes full of mischief. I knew he was looking for a reaction, and I refused to give him the satisfaction. “Not much,” I replied, keeping my tone neutral. “Just enjoying the night.” I looked around at the group, studying each of them, memorizing their features. I was looking for any weaknesses I could exploit, any way to give myself an advantage.“Where's your brother?” one of them asked. “He's fast asleep,” I replied, my voice betraying nothing of my true thoughts. I knew he was talking about Jake, and I had to keep up the act. “He's missing out on all the fun,” another chimed in, a sly grin on his face. “Yeah, he's such a bore,” another added. I just nodded, keeping my face blank. I looked down at the bottle in my hand, knowing that it could be my ticket to freedom.“What's that?” one of them asked, gesturing towards the bottle in my hand. “It's alcohol

As my eyes adjusted, I saw a figure standing in front of me. I let out a silent hiss, realizing that it was our Master, the one I had been avoiding for so long. I felt a surge of panic, but I forced myself to remain calm. After all, I had made it this far, and I couldn't let my fear get the best of me.“Alpha Charles demands all of your presence now!” he screamed at us, his voice booming throughout the room. I smiled inwardly, knowing that this was the moment I had been waiting for. “Why are you smiling?” Jake whispered, confusion in his voice. “I finally did it,” I said, unable to contain my excitement. “What did you do?” he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. “You will see,” I replied, savoring the look of bewilderment on his face.“There's no time for discussion,” the old man said, his tone clarifying that he was no

    Drake“No one will leave the room,” Charles said, his voice low and dangerous.Lucas looked at him confused, his brow furrowed. “Why?” he asked, his voice uncertain. “No one is to leave,” Charles repeated, his voice firm. “There is an investigation underway, and we must make sure that no one interferes.” I could feel the panic rising in the room, as we all tried to make sense of what was happening. But we knew better than not to question him.Slowly, we all made our way back to our former positions, our heads bowed, our hearts pounding in our chests. Charles was always one step ahead of us, always one step closer to uncovering our secrets. I knew I had to be extra careful, to make sure I didn't give anything away.

    DrakeAs he continued to stare at me, I felt a flush of heat rising in my cheeks and I looked away, unable to hold his gaze. I heard him and Lucas exchange a few words, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. The only thing I could hear clearly was Charles saying, “Are you sure he's the only one?” What were they talking about? Were they talking about me? I felt my heart pounding in my chest, and I knew I had to find out what was going on.After a few long, tense moments, they stopped talking and looked at me, their expressions serious and unreadable. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, but I forced a smile, trying to look calm and composed. I had no idea what was going on in their mind, and I was afraid of what they might say next. My mind was racing, trying to come up with possible explanations for what was happening, but I couldn't think of anything. I was just frozen, waiting for them to speak.“Since you are new here, and you have no friends in the pack,” Charles sa

How long has he been standing there? I felt my heart pounding in my chest, and my palms began to sweat. I tried to keep my cool, but it was getting harder by the second. “Greyson,” I said, my voice shaking slightly. “What are you doing here?”He shot me a look, then his gaze moved towards Jake, he cleared his throat as he spoke. “Master summons all of us,” he said in a firm voice, and we nodded.As we followed Greyson out of the room, I could see that Jake was just as confused as I was. We walked in silence, the tension in the air palpable. I glanced at Greyson's profile, trying to gauge his mood, but his face was a mask of impassity. Finally, we reached the main hall of the estate, where a large group of people were gathered. I scanned the crowd, looking for the person who had summoned us.And then our master, T

    DrakeThe door flung open, and I shifted my gaze towards the door and standing before me was Jake who was smiling, but his countenance changed to that of worry when he noticed the distress etched on my face.“What's going on?” he asked, his brow furrowed with concern. I looked up at him, my eyes filling with pain. “I can't connect to Zelda,” I said, my voice cracking. “I'm afraid my pack and the Palace might be in danger.” He sat down next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I know it's hard, but try to relax,” he said gently. “Let's take a deep breath and try to figure this out, okay?” I nodded, trying to steady my breathing.I nodded, but I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of my stomach. My people... my pack... were family to me, and the thought of something happening to them made my heart ache. And Zelda - the thought of her being in danger made my blood run cold.

He cleared his throat before he spoke. “Go to your room,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Come back when all of us are asleep.” I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest. I would rather not leave, but I knew I had to. I had to follow Charles's orders. I forced myself to nod and leave the room, refusing to look back.

    DrakeThree years later.I stood at the grave, my hands clutching the flowers I had brought. My kids stood beside me, their eyes fixed on the stone before them. I took a deep breath, clearing my throat. “Owen looks exactly like you,” I said, my voice quivering. “I know you're not here, but occasionally I believe you are.” I paused, my eyes hard as I looked at my kids. “He's as strong as you are. He's selfless, just like you. You would have loved him.” The words hung in the air, heavy with emotion.“Sometimes it's difficult to believe that you're not here with us, that I won't ever hear your voice again or feel your touch. Sometimes I think it's all a nightmare, that I'll wake up and everything will be like it was before. But I never do. The truth is, life without you is hard. I find it hard to trust anyone, to open up to anyone. “My kids ran off, giggling as they chased each other through the grass. I got up to follow them, making sure they didn't go too far.

    ZeldaNine Months Later.I looked in the mirror, my eyes drawn to the slight bulge in my belly. I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the life within. It was a strange sensation, one that filled me with both joy and fear. I was growing, my body changing, my life changing. But I was still me, still whole. And that was all that mattered to me. I traced my fingers over my cheeks, feeling the slight swelling of my nose. Drake said I looked beautiful, but I couldn't see it. All I saw was a monster. But he loved me anyway.He still wasn't happy that I was keeping the pregnancy, but I knew in my heart that this was the right decision. I wanted to have this child, to give Drake the heir he deserved. He might not have needed it, but the pack did. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenge ahead. I could do this. I could be strong for both myself and my child. I placed my hand on my stomach again, feeling the flutter of new life within. And I smiled.The door to my room burst o

    ZeldaI couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. I struggled to sit up, but someone helped me, supporting my weight. I looked up, and my heart sank. It was Drake. His expression was unreadable, and I was unable to remember the last time he had smiled. “Where's my family?” I asked, my voice breaking. I was afraid of the answer. “The doctor had asked that we give you some space,” he said. I nodded, my mind racing. He was staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked, my heart in my throat. “Nothing,” he said, his voice monotone. I knew he was lying. We'd known each other for too long. He knew I could see right through him. I waited, the silence weighing on me like a heavy blanket. “Just tell me,” I said, my voice shaking. He let out a long sigh. “You're pregnant,” he said, his voice low and serious. My jaw dropped, and I looked down at my stomach. “I thought about what the

    ZeldaI heard footsteps approaching, and my heart leapt into my throat. A guard appeared, a limp body slung over his shoulder. He dropped the body on the floor, and I held my breath, dreading what I would see. The guard stood back, his face pale. “He's dead,” he said, his voice flat. I forced myself to take a step forward, my knees shaking. I knelt beside the body, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch it. I pulled back the blood-stained cloak, revealing the face of Jake.“Jake, the Fierce,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don't do this. You can't leave like this.” I reached out to touch his cold cheek, my hands shaking. I looked down at him, my heartbreaking as I took in his broken body. “Please… please don't go.” I cradled his body in my arms, my tears falling like rain.My mother rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. “Shh, my dear. Be strong,” she murmured. Drake stood in front of me, his eyes hard and unyielding. His arms were crossed behind his back, hi

    ZeldaI felt Jake's hand slip from my grasp, and I heard a sickening thud as he hit the rocks below. I wanted to believe he was still alive, but I knew it was a futile hope. I sank to my knees, my eyes fixated on the jagged cliff that loomed before me. “Jake! Jake! Jake!” I heard Drake’s voice as he called out, but the only response was the echo of his own voice. Desperately, Drake yelled again, his voice hoarse and cracking. But there was no reply, only a heavy silence. I turned to Drake, his expression unreadable. “Let's go,” he said quietly, his voice heavy with grief. “No!” I cried, shaking my head. “We have to find him! We have to save him!” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't accept that he was gone. Drake took my face in his hands, his eyes filled with sadness. “He's dead, Zelda,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “I'm so sorry.” I shook my head, refusing to accept that Jake was gone, and then I freed myself from hi

I closed my eyes, my mind spinning as I tried to find a way out of this.I howled in desperation, the sound tearing from my throat. “Zelda!” I heard Drake call, his voice echoing through the cavernous space. I opened my eyes, straining to see him through the darkness. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, his arms outstretched toward me. But it was no use. I was too far away, the space between us was too great. “I can't reach you, Drake,” I cried, my voice cracking. He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. “Just try, Zelda,” he said, his voice shaking.I strugg

He responded, his mind filled with a sense of urgency and determination.Cindy's wolf was impossibly fast, making it difficult for me to shift into my wolf form.

I could feel my wrists and ankles bound, my body aching with the strain of being tied up. My head pounded, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull. As I took stock of my surroundings, I noticed that I was in a small stone room, the only light coming from a small window high above my head. The room was bare, save for a single wooden chair in the corner.The last thing I remembered was a sudden, blinding pain as something hit me on the head. Now, here I was, tied up and at the mercy of Cindy, a woman who had always been a pest in my life.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking with fear. Cindy's smirk only widened, her dark eyes glittering with malice. “Oh, you know what you did,” she said, her voice dripping with venom.

I turned around to see a maid standing there, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor. “Your room is ready,” she said, her tone deferential. “How many miles is it from here to Cindy's grandmother's house?” I asked, my voice betraying my anxiety. The maid hesitated, then said, “I do not know, my lady.” I felt a wave of frustration, but I bit my tongue. “Thank you,” I said, my tone cool.I pulled the curtains closed, blocking out the moonlight. With a weary sigh, I let my shoulders slump. “My lady,” the maid said, “I hope you find the room to your liking.” I nodded my thanks, too tired to speak. She left me alone, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me. I sank onto the bed, its softness enveloping me. The silence was broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall.
