Alpha Rick's POVI paced back and forth in my room as my mind restless and uneasy. I couldn't shake off the feeling of something being off, something I couldn't put my finger on. I missed having Melina within my reach, her presence soothed me like no other – it was strange but that was how I felt.I missed taunting her and enjoyed seeing her in pain. It was a strange pleasure that I derived from watching her squirm under my gaze. But now, as I thought of her not being around, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. I tried to ignore it, but the feeling persisted, nagging at me and refusing to let go.My mind wandered back to the last time I had seen Melina – she was trying to run away from me, from the pack environs. I was happy when I found her but the stubborn bitch continued to run until she fell into the river. Now I wasn't so sure if she was alive or dead and it made me feel uneasy I continued to pace, my mind lost in a jumble of conflicting thoughts and emotions. I needed to
A FEW HOURS LATERI stepped out of the meeting hall as my eyes glazed with the images of my slaves being tortured. The screams still echoed in my ears and I wasn't satisfied. I had grown tired of watching the vicious cycle of cruelty and oppression even if it was a necessary evil to keep the slaves in line but I had had enough for one day.As I made my way across the courtyard, I could feel the eyes of my subordinates watching me. They knew that I was already not in a good mood so no one dared to speak a word to me. I was not known for being kind and any sign of weakness would only invite trouble from my enemies. I had to be heartless and show no emotion.I stopped by a group of slaves, huddled together in a corner. They looked up at me with pleading eyes, hoping for mercy. I could feel their pain, but I could not afford to show any compassion. It was the law of my pack, and I was bound to enforce it."Back to your posts!" I bellowed, my voice echoing across the courtyard. "And if any
Melina's POVI woke up to the sound of my own breathing. It was early, way too early for anyone else to be awake but I was used to it, it was a normal thing for a slave like me. My body had been trained to rise with the sun, to greet the day before anyone else had even stirred.I stretched out, relishing the feeling of my muscles slowly coming back to life after a long and peaceful night's sleep. And then, suddenly, I felt something around me. A hand. And it's not my own. What the f**k??I panicked, my reflexes kicking in before my brain was even able to fully register what was happening. I shoved the hand away and jumped out of bed, my breaths coming out in short, haphazard bursts. I looked around the room, trying to calm myself down and figure out what had happened.That was when I saw him – Alpha Dwane. And he was awake now too, his eyes wide and panicked as he took in my wary expression.As I stood there, my body still trembling with fear, Alpha Dwane looked at me with a worried e
Dwane's POVI never knew what real fear was until that moment. One second I was standing and having a good time with Melina, and the next she was falling. As I saw her fall to the ground, without thinking, I rushed over to her, screaming in terror. My heart pounded wildly in my chest as I picked her up, her head lolling to one side. I struggled to open the nearby door as my fingers shook with fear."Come on, come on," I muttered under my breath as I fumbled with the doorknob. Finally, it gave way, and I stumbled into the hallways, cradling Melina in my arms. I could feel her limp body against mine, and my mind raced with panic.I ran down the hallway, calling out for help. "Someone, anyone, please help us!" I shouted, my voice breaking with emotion. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest as I desperately searched for someone, anyone who could help. I couldn't afford to lose Melina. I just found her. I wasn't about to let anything take her away from me. Never!!Sudden
Barbara's POVAs I stepped into Elsa the witch's cabin, I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. The decorations were ancient, and the musty scent of old books and herbs filled the air. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows across the room which made my heart race.My eyes darted around the space, taking in the countless trinkets and artifacts that littered the shelves and tables. An old cauldron sat atop a roaring fire, bubbling with an unknown substance. Strange symbols and runes were etched into the walls, their meanings lost to time. I couldn't help but feel both fascinated and unnerved by the scene before me.My expression must have given away my unease because Elsa let out a soft chuckle. "Do not be afraid, child. The magic in this room is ancient, but it means you no harm."I nodded like I understood what she was saying but despite her reassurance, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was in the presence of something powerful and dangerous. I took a deep breath and tri
Alpha's Rick POVAs the cool evening breeze rustled through the hairs on my skin, I strolled through my pack environs with my trusted right-hand man Eric by my side. We walked in silence, taking in the surroundings and keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble. As the Alpha, it was my duty to protect my pack at all costs. It was something I did daily.Suddenly, Eric spoke up, breaking the peaceful silence. "Alpha Rick, I have news," he said in a hushed tone. "And it's good news."I turned to face him as my curiosity was piqued. "What is it, Eric?""I received word from my secret spy, the one who we sent to infiltrate Alpha Dwane's pack. Well, guess what Boss?" Eric said, wearing a big grin on his face."What?? Spill it out, Eric. Stop with the suspense. I'm already curious." I said with a hint of urgency in my tone."Alpha, you won't believe it but Melina is alive and doing well, just as you suspected." He spat out with a smile on his face.At those words, a jolt of shock and relief
Barbara's POVI woke up to a beautiful morning. The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains, casting a warm glow on everything in the room. I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through my veins, knowing that today was the day I would finally carry out my evil plans on Melina.As I sat up in bed, I stretched my arms and let out a contented sigh. I was fully rested and ready to put my plans into action. I glanced over at the substance that the powerful witch, Elsa, had given to me. I found out that it was a very powerful potion that could make even the bravest of souls tremble with fear. I couldn't help but smile as I stared at the substance, speculating on how I would execute my devilish plans. My expression must have been one of pure malice, but I couldn't help it. I had been planning this for far too long to let any doubts creep into my mind. I was determined to succeed and nothing was going to stop me.As I got out of bed, I felt a surge of energy pulsi
Melina's POVThe morning was quiet, too quiet. The birds weren't singing, and the wind wasn't rustling through the trees. It was as if the world had paused, waiting for something to happen. As I opened my eyes I had a bad feeling – a feeling that something bad was about to happen.I stretched and tried to drag myself out of bed as my body was still heavy with sleep. As soon as my feet touched the cool wooden floor, a cold shiver ran down my spine. It wasn't the pleasant kind of shiver that comes from a cool breeze, but rather an eerie feeling that made me uneasy. I began to feel very uncomfortable.I glanced around the room, but everything seemed to be in its place. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, yet my wolf was unnaturally furious. She growled low in my mind, warning me of a danger I couldn't see"Something isn't right Melina. I can sense evil around you." My wolf said with a hint of seriousness in her tone.I began to feel scared but I shook my head, trying to shake off the fee
As Emma was escorted away in custody, her threats echoed back at Dwayne and Melina as stood together.Emma screamed in defiance "You'll pay for this! Both of you!"The officer that was escorting her away replied her sternly "Save your threats for the wolf court council"Melina, holding the baby close "She won't harm us anymore"As Emma was escorted away a sense of relief washed over them, knowing that a major part of their problem had been solved. The authorities assured them that justice would be served.As Melina and Dwayne apprached the mansion Anna came running towards them closely followed by ArenAnna with deep concern all over her face " Melina, you can't just disappear like that.

Emma's bitterness spilled forth as she recounted the path that had led her to that vengeful moment."I was meant to be the Luna, destined to stand by Dwayne's side. I devised a plan to frame you for betraying him, but even then, he forgave you. It was infuriating. My rightful place was snatched away by your mere presence.""All this time, you've been plotting against me for something as trivial as being with Dwayne?"Emma's eyes glinted with resentment. "Trivial? It was everything to me! I couldn't let a blind girl be preferred over me, the rightful Luna. I thought blinding you would make you insignificant, but you still found a way to worm your way into his heart."Melina's mind raced, "And now you're using my son to get back at me? What do you gain from all this cruelty?"Emma leaned forward, a venomous smile on her lips. "I gain satisfaction, revenge, and the position I rightfully deserve""Dwayne married me, and nothing you do will change that. You can't erase the bond we share, n
After the banquet Melina and Dwayne bade some of the guests goodnight and soon they were on their way home.Dwayne took a look at her and found her fully staring at him with those sexy eyes " You know if you keep staring at me that way I doubt if I would be able to concentrate on driving" he said with sincerity" Alright then " muttered Melina before leaning her head backwards to the headrest.They got home and Pulling up in front of the house they noticed it looked a bit too quiet Dwayne turned almost whispering to Melina "did you tell the servants to leave a window open or something?Melina replied anxiously "No, everything was locked up when we left. What could have happened?""Let's check on the baby first."She nodded softly "Something's not right."He slowly opened the door, revealing a room that should have been filled with the warmth of their child. Instead, they were met with a scene that shattered their peace – the nanny lifeless on the floor, and the baby's crib empty.Me
Dwayne held open the car door for Melina as she entered the car before going to the other side of the car and getting in himself , the driver turned on the ignition and soon they were their way to the banquet hall.Dwayne held out his arm to Melina as they stepped out of the car in front of the banquet hall, Melina leisurely placed her arm in his giving him a look that screamed the words " I trust you " and with that both of them walked towards the gigantic doors of the hall , by the door were a couple of guards who bowed to them as they walked through the doors.Melina turned to Dwayne almost whispering "I still feel uneasy about the idea of being bowed to"Dwayne replied her in the same manner "You'd better start getting used to it as you'll be getting a lot of bows from now"Both of them couldn't help giggling at their childishness but the lovely moment was soon interrupted by a masculine voice that erupted behind them."Who else if not the latest couple in town " said Aren with a
It was almost time for the banquet so Melina took a dip in the tub which was full of herbs that helped rejuvenate the skin , after taking her bath she could feel her skin was smoother and a lot softer , she went to her dressing table and applied some essential oils and scented oils all over her body, by the time she was done the sweet scents filled the room.She proceeded to wear the dress she had picked , thinking the event was going to be a simple one like the wedding ceremony Melina picked out a knee length blue halter neck dress . Just as she was about to slip into the dress she heard a knock on her door The voice said from behind the door "My lady , may I come in?"Melina quickly put her robe back on before answering "come in"The door opened and Nina who was a servant in the mansion came in holding a rather big box."Alpha Dwayne asked me to bring this to you my lady " she said while placing the box down on the bed."Thank you , where is he ?" Asked Melina Nina answered court
Dwayne and Melina got married almost immediately after the official announcement. it was a simple wedding ceremony with just a few representative of each clan in attendance . The sacred ceremony was held at the temple of the moon goddess and officiated by the shaman.The duo knelt before the statute of the moon goddess while the shaman performed the rites , he handed them two cups with drinks in it " you may now say your vows " he said motioning to Dwayne to take his vows first " I Dwayne Alpha of the dark Moon pack hereby take Melina as my Luna and vow to protect her with my life , holding her hands through thick and thin , never to be apart from her in life and in death " said Dwayne as he smiled at Melina."I Melina of the crescent pack hereby take Alpha Dwayne as my husband and vow to stay by his side through thick and thin protecting him with my life, never to be apart from him in Life and in death " said Melina with a huge smile on her face.

It's important to me that you both have the best care possible"Melina smiled broadly "Dwayne, you've already done so much for me. Are you sure about this?"Dwayne nodded "Absolutely sure.

Anna got to the vending machine and saw a boy of about ten years kneeling on his hands and knees franctically trying to reach something under the bench that was right beside the machine, he heard her footsteps and he gave me a rather big smile as she approached the machine." Good day miss " he said he said looked up at me while still on his hands and knees." Good day to you ..." She said stuttering a bit , the boy looked rather unkept but his outstanding feature was his bright smile." Jay, my name is Jay" he said" Ooohk Jay that's a lovely name " she said then I noticed a candy bar on the bench He said pleadingly ."Can you please help me get my coin , it fell under the bench and I can't reach it " Anna crouched to the ground trying to figure where the coin was but it was so far she had to get down on all fours to be able to reach it, she pulled out the coin and handed it to him ."Thank you miss, now I can buy a candy for Browny too " said Jay happily as he inserted the coin int
The room fell silent for a moment with the weight of what the doctor said fully sinking in. Dwayne turned to the doctor "What's her blood type?""It's O negative, a rare type indeed"Anna, her voice tinged with concern, looked at Dwayne "Do you know anyone with that blood type?"Dwayne nodded."I'm O negative as well"The doctor swiftly suggested the compatibility test, and the tension in the room became heightened as they awaited the results.After a while the doctor returned with the results "Dwayne, your blood type matches Melina's. You can donate"Dwayne sighed with a bit of relief "Let's do it doctor"Anna glanced at Dwayne, silently grateful for what he had just done"After what felt like eternity the heavy doors of the ER swung open again and the doctor came out smiling "The surgery went well. We successfully delivered a healthy baby boy"Dwayne's eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of relief and overwhelming joy as he couldn't believe his ears "A boy? Is Melina okay?"The doc
