Kelly "Good morning, Luna Kelly!" I smiled and greeted the omega back. I could never get enough of this, the special treatment everyone was obliged to give, the respect I didn't need to demand, and the admiration of the whole pack, which I no longer needed to bribe for. The slaves I met everywhere I went greeted me with enthusiasm, their daily acknowledgment of my supreme existence like a fine musical melody to my ears. I had only dreamed of being in this position for years. Now, I’ve been enjoying it as if it were only yesterday since Silverfang named me its queen. Ah… This is the life! I smiled as I remembered everything I'd been through. Those days I spent reading my father’s books instead of children’s tales more appropriate for my age, those days I had to accompany Dad on his business meetings instead of playing outside, those days I missed making connections with others to entertain Dad’s comrades that would help us achieve our goals… everything was worth it. Dad told me onc
Carrie "I think everyone's here, right, Anya?" As my brother Jerick called the meeting to order, a sense of anticipation and responsibility settled. over us. The room's atmosphere was tense, and the cloudy afternoon accentuated the gravity of our discussions and decisions. The soft hum of voices filled the air, carrying with it the weight of our pack's hopes and concerns. My heart beat a little faster, knowing that the choices made in this room would profoundly impact our pack's future. I scanned the faces of my fellow council members, each representing a crucial aspect of our pack's leadership. The familiar faces around the table brought comfort, but it was mixed with the knowledge that the challenges we faced were never easy to overcome. "I call the order to—" Suddenly, the door banged open with a jolt, shattering the quietude and startling everyone inside. Anya, our diligent secretary, hurriedly handed files to the last member of the Blackmoon council. "My apologies for being
CarrieAs we strolled toward the training ground, I asked Alexei, "How's Crestville?"Alexei walked beside me, lost in thought, and replied, "It seems like news about Crestville has reached even the most isolated wolf packs in the eastern region. I never expected us to become so well-known."I grinned, saying, "Who would've thought your little project would become this big?""Yeah, it's surprising," Alexei admitted, running his hands through his hair. "Last week, a group of seven wolves came to Crestville. They'd been searching for us for days after one of my men found them. They were hungry, tired, and weak."I asked, concerned, "What happened to them?""They were attacked by bandits and rogues," Alexei explained. "Almost everyone in their pack was killed. They heard about Crestville and sought refuge with us."I nodded in agreement with the thought. Crestville had gained a reputation as a sanctuary for refugees, survivors, prisoners, and even outcasts from other packs. It had become
JesseI glanced around my workshop, a secret sanctuary I had kept hidden for all these years. It served as my escape from the burdens of being the Alpha and provided solace during moments of loneliness. The workshop had a cozy charm that I cherished more than my grand private room. It was the one thing I had kept entirely to myself; I had no desire to share this refuge with anyone, except for Carrie.It might seem peculiar for an Alpha to harbor such a concealed passion, a fact I was well aware of. Within the pack, no one knew about this workshop tucked away in the forbidden part of our territory. Even if a few stumbled upon it by accident, they wouldn't dare to explore further, as I had placed a stern warning at the entrance to deter any curious intruders. Nevertheless, the wolves of Silverfang were aware of my wood-carving hobby, thanks to a few pieces I had shared with them in the past. But that has changed over the last eight years. To put it simply, my creative hands had fallen d
AlexeiAlexeiI was back in Crestville, and my usual job kept me busy. It wasn't just about being the leader; I was also part of the workforce, setting an example that the people admired and respected—leading by doing, not just by words.My right-hand man, John, saw me buried in work and brought me some water and a towel. He noticed that I was working differently from our usual tasks."What’s that, boss?” he asked with curiosity. “Care to share what you are doing?"I accepted the water and towel with a chuckle, amused by his curiosity. "A mini punching bag. It's for the young boy, Liam. He showed a great interest in being a fighter. A small gift like this would make that little warrior happy.”John laughed mischievously. "No wonder why the boy likes you so much.”I glanced at John and shared my thoughts. "That child is a symbol of hope. Surprisingly, he led me out of the darkness when he came into this world. He's a constant reminder that I should live my life in a more decent and hon
Carrie"Alexei will come with you, but still, don't let your guard down and be safe. I will leave everything to you, Carrie," Jerick said before leaving after delivering the information about the Moonlight Gala."I guess I don't have a choice again this year," I sighed to myself before preparing myself. Another year to attend the annual party, and it no longer excites me.Events like this no longer thrill my soul. Drinking and partying all night don't amuse me like they used to before. Getting wild until morning or doing silly things when getting drunk turned into mere memories. Dressing up to impress Noah, glamorizing myself, or bragging about how I looked and taking pride in it—these things don't feel magical anymore. I would rather stay at home, do my job as the Luna of the pack, and spend a lot of time with Liam. My joy and excitement only reside with my son and the pack. The once wild soul I had no longer exists. Maturity didn't make my life boring but peaceful.The sole purpose
Carrie"Je-Jesse?" I stuttered, my voice barely above a whisper.Jesse smiled and held my waist with his firm hands as we swayed to the melody of the music. The beat of the song echoed throughout the grand hall, but it was nothing compared to the wild beating of my heart.It felt as if time had stood still, and we were left behind. The people around us slowly vanished, and our eyes locked on each other.It had been years since the last time I saw Jesse. The time apart had allowed me to notice a lot of changes in his looks. He looked older, with a few lines added to his forehead, but he was more appealing than before. I was captivated by every detail of his face – his tiny facial hairs, the intense look in his eyes, his broad shoulders, even the lips that used to meet mine. Jesse was staring at me too, intense, with a hint of longing in his gaze.His intensity made me nervous, and when I touched his shoulder, a rush of heat emanated from his body, traveling through my skin and into my
JesseCarrie was fuming with anger. Her face had turned bright red, and she seemed unable to bear what was happening. She didn't appear as tense or nervous as she had earlier, but more like a volcano about to erupt.I missed the opportunity for a pleasant conversation with her, as jealousy clouded my thoughts and weighed heavily on my heart. I felt that I should have been the one dancing joyfully with her earlier, engaged in light-hearted banter, and escorting her to the ball.Regret tinged my emotions when I observed her expression, and my anger waned. However, the chance for a meaningful conversation had already slipped through my grasp. Regret washed over me, softening my demeanor."You have no right to accuse me of that. You don't know what I've been through since you turned your back on me."My anger flared up again. I struggled to comprehend her words, particularly the part where she believed I had abandoned her, not the other way around. As far as I recalled, it was Carrie who
Jesse I was preparing everything for Liam. The time had come for him to return to Blackmoon after spending some time with me in Silverfang. As I gathered his things, a touch of melancholy washed over me. Our time together had been an incredible experience, and now it was coming to an end. "Make sure you don't forget anything," I reminded him. Liam nodded, a bright smile on his face. It had been two years since our battle with Corey, and we had all returned to our peaceful lives. My life had transformed into a colorful and joyous one since Liam had entered it. Carrie had finally agreed to let me be part of their lives as a co-parent with Liam. I had been making up for lost time and bonding with my son, and even the Silverfang pack celebrated his arrival the first time he set foot here. Jerick, although he hadn't forgiven me completely, was now civil and warmer with me. He had expressed his approval of me being in Liam's life despite everything that had happened between our packs, an
CarrieAs Jesse and I approached each other, a hush fell over the crowd, as if the world had suddenly paused. The air was filled with anticipation, and my heart raced with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. I called out to my son, who was now by my side, and he gladly approached me.Tears welled up in my eyes as I rushed towards him, and we held each other in a tight, heartfelt hug. My hands instinctively ran through his soft, tousled hair, and I caressed his face with an overwhelming sense of joy and relief. The emotions surged through me like a tidal wave.Liam looked up at me with a hint of concern in his innocent eyes, his small voice breaking the silence. "What's wrong, mommy?"I couldn't contain my tears, but they were tears of happiness, and a warm smile graced my face. "Mommy is just happy to see you again, sweetheart. I love you with all my heart. You know that, right?"Liam's face lit up with a bright, contagious smile, and he wrapped his little arms around me, declari
Jesse"Liam, wake up, please!" I cried out, my voice filled with desperation. Skull Valley loomed in the darkness around us, an eerie silence in the night. Liam lay motionless under the night sky. He didn't respond to my pleas. I tried to rouse him gently, tapping his cheeks, but his eyes remained closed. Panic and fear consumed me, and every passing second only deepened the dread in my heart."Liam!" I shouted, my voice trembling with raw emotion. My mind swirled with a torrent of terrifying possibilities, and I couldn't bear the thought of a future without my son. I shook him, holding onto his lifeless form, pleading with him to awaken, but he remained unresponsive. Desperation welled within me, and my cries grew more frantic, echoing through the desolate night."No... no... my son... wake up..." The words quivered on my lips, mirroring the unbearable agony that had taken hold of my soul.I looked around, feeling utterly helpless. Tears streamed down my cheeks, obscuring my vision a
Jesse I followed Ex-Beta Corey's instructions and arrived at Skull Valley alone, determined to do everything to save Liam. I knew the risks of facing Corey and his rogue army, but I had no choice. My heart pounded with a mix of fear and determination as I ventured deeper into the desolate valley. The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the rocky terrain. I had to navigate carefully to avoid any unwanted confrontations. The wind rustled through the dry grass, and a chill ran down my spine, making me feel more vulnerable than ever. Finally, I spotted Corey standing near a gnarled tree, holding Liam tightly. Our eyes locked, and a tense silence hung in the air. “Mr. Morris!” Liam shouted, making Corey twitch slightly on his side, silencing him with a tightened grip. I clenched my fist seeing this. “Don’t you dare hurt him!” I shouted back. “I did your bidding. Now, release the boy at once and face me!” Corey shouted with a smirk, "You're a fool, Jesse. Coming
JesseThe day had come for me to face Corey. I stood before the mirror, adjusting my shirt, trying to steady my nerves. I'd been in many battles before, but this one was unlike any other. This time, I had to confront my enemy with an unknown disadvantage, and I needed to find a way to succeed, or else I would lose my son before he even knew I existed.We had decided to stay in the Astoria pack until the day of the confrontation. I was in the room that Alpha Christian had provided as my temporary chambers, mentally preparing for the impending war. Running away was not an option this time.As I tried to gather my thoughts and find the courage I needed, I heard a gentle knock on the door. I knew my mother had come to check on me by her gentle voice. She had been trying to engage me in conversation, sensing the weight of the situation, but my mind was preoccupied, and I had ignored her repeated attempts.She entered the room with some supplies for my journey, her concern and love evident
CarrieThe tension in the room was palpable, like an invisible storm cloud hanging heavily in the air. As the troops wisely decided to make their exit, their footsteps echoed in the silence, and the atmosphere grew even more charged. Alpha Christian and Jerick left as well, their absence leaving us alone to confront the emotional turmoil that had long been simmering beneath the surface.Nancy hesitated, her eyes brimming with tears. An unspoken concern was etched across her face, a deep worry for what might transpire in the room. However, her reluctance to leave was overridden by my firm determination. I could feel her trepidation, her desire to stay and protect, but this was the moment for Jesse and me alone."I think this is the time for Jesse and me to face our past," I finally broke the silence, my voice quivering with a mixture of resolve and anxiety."But, Carrie—"I locked eyes with her, silently pleading for her to trust my judgment. I knew that what needed to be said, what ne
JesseI asked the question, desperate for an answer that Carrie wasn't giving. Frustration boiled inside me, and I raised my voice, demanding the truth from her."Answer me, Carrie! And don't you dare lie to me! IS LIAM MY SON?!"But all I got from Carrie were sobs and heavy breaths, and I needed answers urgently. As I leaned closer to her, a strange sensation began to infiltrate my mind. It felt as if an invisible hand was delving into the recesses of my thoughts, attempting to convey a message. This eerie and disconcerting sensation hinted at a presence trying to communicate with me, yet its source remained unclear. It dawned on me that it was a connection attempting to breach the boundaries of my consciousness, and the realization hit me like a thunderbolt. It was a mindlink, a rare skill possessed only by high-ranking wolves."A mindlink," I muttered, and the others in the woods exchanged glances. Gene pointed out that it might be Corey.Without wasting a moment, I shouted urgentl
CarrieMy heart sank like a heavy stone in my chest, aching for the reunion with my son, Liam. Panic overcame me, rendering me utterly helpless and frozen in time. My mind conjured the most terrifying scenarios, and I couldn't shake the paralyzing fear of losing him at any moment. I clutched my chest, desperately trying to calm my racing heart and regain some semblance of control. I attempted to convince myself that my son was okay and that nothing bad would happen to him. But who was I kidding? Liam and his friend had been kidnapped by an unknown wolf, and the likelihood of him being hurt in the process was a one-in-a-million possibility.“Liam! Liam! Where are you, sweety? It’s Mommy! Liam!”Desperation consumed me as I called out Liam's name in the woods. The thought of Liam being alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar place tore at my soul. Every passing second felt like an eternity, and all I longed for was to see his sweet face again, to hold him close and assure him that everyth
Jesse"Now, could you please explain how the best werewolf school on the continent allowed two kids to go missing without a trace?"I could sense Jerick's frustration as he made his sarcastic remarks. His face revealed his feelings. Like the rest of us, he too demanded answers regarding the disappearance of Liam and Jaxon.Alpha Christian heaved a sigh, composed himself, and began to calmly explain what had happened."The report is based on our only witness, Carl, one of the freshmen here at Lycan Academy and a friend of Liam and Jaxon. He was the last person Liam and Jaxon were seen with before they went missing.""Another kid was involved?" Gene remarked, his voice tinged with surprise. Alpha Christian continued his story.As Alpha Christian spoke, his tone grew more somber, and he gazed out the window. His eyes reflected the weight of the situation. The room itself seemed to darken as he continued his story."According to Carl, they were strolling around the campus after class. Jax
