Chapter 35: The Haunting Past.

Annatoria's eyes glared in disbelief as she held the empty envelope. It was another letter from the Alpha King.

Asher smiled again.

"It's an invitation. We'll surely attend it. It says the Annual Alphas' party was canceled because you didn’t show up, Alpha Annatoria," Asher explained.

"Oh! I don't have time for this," she sighed.

She sat on her favorite couch, obviously tired, rubbing her temples.

"Why do they keep insisting?" she asked him.

"Because they can't ignore you even if you ignore them," Asher murmured.

"But I stopped being part of their world the moment I left Ember Wolves. Have you forgotten?" She let out a dry chuckle.

"Oh! But you hold power, remember?" Asher countered. "More than you think," he added.

She exhaled sharply, tossing the envelope onto the table. "I have more important things to do—like building my own pack and getting my son back."

Asher's smile faded slightly. "I understand that, but you can't avoid them forever. Sooner or l

    Morning light streamed through the bedroom window, wrapping Annatoria in its gentle warmth as she rolled from the other side of the bed. Her alarm had rang twice but she was too sleepy to get up. A faint voice drifted into her consciousness, pulling her from sleep.“Morning, darling,” Radolf murmured. His tone was soft, coaxing her awake.She stirred, eyes slowly opened, and grumbled a lazy, “Morning.” The irritation in her voice dissipated the moment his lips brushed hers. He kissed her with a tenderness that made her heart stutter, even as her mind screamed at her to stay guarded.But the spell broke just as quickly. “Where the hell were you?” she asked, swatting him lightly on the back. Her forced smile faded. Radolf hadn’t come home last night, and she couldn’t ignore the weight of that truth. She'd cried all night, dealing and clenching her chest from pain of the matebond.He chuckled dryly, feigning innocence. “My baby’s mad at me, isn’t she?” His lips tugged into a pout as he

    Candace-the wench! There she was, in Ernoulf’s bed—half-naked and shivering. Annatoria knew it was an act, though it seemed so real. “What’s going on here?" she asked, her eyes squinting, her head tilting as she slowly walked into the room, leaving the door wide open. Her husband, Radolf, showed no remorse, while Candace, the naked woman, shrank back upon seeing her. “Get out!” Annatoria ordered, her voice laced with bitterness and anger. Fear flashed in Candace’s eyes, but Radolf countered. “She’s not going anywhere,” he said coldly, his tone emotionless. Annatoria’s mind screamed. “What!” The words echoed in her mind, too loud for comfort. “You heard me. I want her, and I’ll have her,” Radolf replied, his words as cold as ice. To his wife? Probably to the pussy he kept in his home.. They hit her like a slap, and Annatoria clenched her fists, aching to strike him. “In our kid’s bedroom?” she asked, her fists tightening at her sides. She wouldn’t dare strike the Alpha, but th

    Chapter 3: AccusationTwo god-damned weeks. That was how long it had been since Annatoria last saw Radolf. Two weeks of sleepless nights, battling the crushing pain in her chest every time their mate bond pulled—reminding her of the women he took to his bed. Two weeks of biting down on her emotions, pretending she wasn’t shattered, pretending she didn’t care. Pretending to be the strongest woman who cared less about the man who hurt her most, was the hardest to do. Memories of him didn't leave her head, even though she wanted them to.Radolf had left without a word after she caught him with Candace, one of the pack’s maids. The remorse she expected from him, was no where to be found. After all, she hadn't seen him since then.Annatoria hadn’t confronted him except for the night he walked into the room she was, with her son Ernoulf.What was the point? Every attempt to address his infidelity ended the same—with his icy indifference and her own tears. She had stopped crying a long time

    As Annatoria was dragged into the council room, her gaze locked with the elders seated in a rigid semicircle, their faces devoid of emotion. They resembled statues carved from stone, unyielding and unforgiving. Elder Scrolls, the oldest and most revered Lycan, sat at the far end, his throne an imposing symbol of authority that dominated the room.Their stern faces gnawed at her but, she was eager to hear them listen to her own part of the Story. “What is happening?” her wolf whispered within her, unease blending with Annatoria’s rising panic. She swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm. She knew she hadn’t touched Radolf. Their confrontation had been nothing more than words—angry, biting words, but words nonetheless. “Luna Annatoria, you’ve been summoned for judgment,” Elder Evelyn announced, her voice as cold and sharp as an arctic wind. She stood tall, her piercing gaze unwavering as it bore into Annatoria. “Judgment?” Annatoria repeated, confusion tightening her chest. Her

    Chapter 5: Sparks in the StormAlpha Asher of the Moon Crest Pack sat on a small rock, sheltered by the thick canopy above him. The woods were quiet, except for the rustling of leaves and the occasional chirp of crickets. Asher often came here when he needed his peace and solitude—a place where he could find peace amidst the endless responsibilities of being an Alpha.He inhaled deeply, savoring the scent of pine and damp earth that filled the air. The world felt far away here, removed from the chaos of pack disputes and the looming dangers outside his borders. His fingers brushed against the rough bark of a nearby tree, his mind clear for the moment.But peace, like the calm before a storm, was always fleeting.Dark clouds began to roll in, thick and heavy. The first drops of rain splattered onto the ground, followed by a sudden downpour. Asher stood up, his brow furrowing. Not a perfect time for a walk, but he’d never been one to let weather dictate his actions.As he trekked deeper

    It was exactly three days after being rescued and taken in, by the Alpha of the Moon Crest Pack. He was clearly Annatoria's enemy because, a son to her late Father's enemy was her enemy as well. He probably didn't know who she was….all he knew was probably her identity as the former Luna of the Ember Wolves Pack.“Good morning, ma'am" A maiden in the pack house bowed to Annatoria, as she walked towards the dining room. Asher had brought her to his home, his pack, and declared she was an important person. “Good morning, Alpha" She smiled, as soon as she sighted Asher.They'd gotten to know little about each other since a day after she came into the house…….Asher also made sure he got her a personal slave. The only thing he made sure not to intrude in, was asking about how her life at the Ember Wolves Pack was. He knew she hadn't healed yet. “No,Asher is fine. Call me Asher" He said as he playfully shook his head. Annatoria flashed a fake smile, trying to swallow up the awkwardness.

Some took months, others years—but eventually, the mask would slip. It could not last longer than destined. The old bald wizard, wrapped in a thick black cloak, moved slowly toward the Ember Wolves' Pack. His beard, long and white, swayed slightly as the wind carried whispers of an ancient past. His journey had been long, his feet weary, but his purpose was unwavering….. delivering the message.He sought the Alpha, but for what? What message? As he reached the pack’s entrance, the guards stiffened. Their hands hovered over their weapons, eyes narrowed in suspicion as they scanned him. He carried no visible threat, yet something about him made their wolves restless.“I seek the Alpha—Alpha Radolf of this pack,” the man declared in a voice that cut through the air like steel.The guards exchanged glances. Was this an attack? A test? A chall

Asher walked towards him but, was stopped by Annatoria. But that was as if calling his name wasn't enough, he charged towards Manga. “He's one of us," She said sharply as soon as he raised his hand to thrust into his heart.His hand hung midway as he listened to Annatoria. “He's on the verge of death…. Please, let him go” Annatoria begged, moving close to Asher. Asher released him and in the twinkle of an eye, Manga took to his heels.He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, heavily panting. “Why can't he shift?" The question popped in Annatoria's head as she watched him run off. ________________________“My baby?" Nyx, the woman in the room kept repeating quietly as her palm rested gently on her belly.

When it was daybreak, she summoned a meeting with those she'd appointed as head of army, head of Weapons storage, head of war strategies, the five elders of the pack and Asher. “How many army does this pack have now?"

His morning erection felt the heat between her thighs. "Leave,” Radolf ordered Candace and of course, she had no choice than to excuse him. Radolf pulled Loreen closer, her nipples becoming hard as he fondled them."I've forgiven you…..it's fine now" He pouted. She unbuckled his belt, as her hand crawled into his pants. She held his schlong, her palm stroking it. She wanted to make this one different from the other times……unique and memorable. She stroked it with one hand, packing her hair with the other hand. As soon as she was done packing her hair, she knelt beside him.Radolf moaned as she stroked his hard, bouncy, long cock. On other days, she'd ask him to penetrate into her but today, she was asking for something different. She kissed the cap with her lips, sending tingles down his spine. For a moment

All the dead bodies had been cleaned up and arranged for a mass burial. The children watched their parents in the coffin, tears fell from their eyes. Asher had made sure that the furniture constructors at his pack came to construct over 2500 coffins. “Scarred Wolves, I, Annatoria your Alpha, mourns with you. You all have not just lost but we all lost our loved ones, our husbands, our Fathers, our Mothers, our children, our brothers,...." She stopped when her voice became shaky. “...and our sisters.
