CarrieAfter the incident at the training ground, the rest of my day was spent holed up in my room. I have to admit, Kelly's words hit me hard. I thought everyone liked having me around, but I guess I was wrong.I was born into privilege, something I've always been thankful for. I never felt the need to climb the ranks, as I was quite content with the life my father had given me in Blackmoon. Becoming an alpha's mate was never my choice. In fact, I wasn't even interested in finding my mate. The life I had in Blackmoon was fulfilling enough. But fate had its own plans, and I made the choice to stay here with Jesse. I have to tough it out. I had my eyes on being a Luna of Blackmoon once but not because I wanted a position. It was more of my desire to be acknowledged as Noah’s wife. I never care about anything other than that. That’s why I don't think I deserve the insults. I was here for love and love alone. I don’t care about the Luna seat of Silverfang. I came here to be with my mat
KellyMy footsteps made loud sounds in the hallway of the Beta mansion. I hurried to find my Beta father because I needed answers quickly!"Good morning, Lady Kelly," the maid greeted me nicely, lowering her head and moving out of my way."Move aside!" I said harshly, pushing her a little. But instead of staying quiet, she spoke softly. "Forgive me, Lady Kelly," she said quietly and submissively. The sound of her voice irritated me even more. I turned and looked at her with anger in my eyes. "Did you just talk to me without my permission?" I said rudely. Without second thoughts, I slapped her cheek sharply.She started to cry and said, "Please, Lady Kelly, I didn't mean to make you upset.""You didn't mean to upset me? Huh! Who gave you the right to talk to me? You're just a servant born to serve me and those within my rank!" The maid was scared by the way I spoke. She was shaking as she fidgeted her fingers, not knowing what to do."Guards!" I called, and a guard came right away.
Carrie“Are you ready for your test today?”The sound of my Gamma teacher echoed inside the library, making me fidget. The room was cold yet I could feel the beads of sweat forming on my forehead, prompting me to wipe it. It’s been a week since I study Silverfang’s history and today is the day to find out if I had learned any. Swallowing hard, I uttered, “Yes, Gamma Lucius. I think I’m ready.”“Alright, let’s start,” he said without smiling. His impassive expression intensified my worry. I stood up in front while he wore his eyeglasses and started asking me questions.”Now, Lady Carrie. Can you tell me how Silverfang was founded?”I swallowed my saliva before starting to narrate the pack’s history. “In the year 1108, Prince Aldo de Gilgamesh, the heir to the Lycan throne, discovered his mate, Lyanna Caramelo. He saw her by the river, filling a jar with water. At that very moment, he knew she was the mate bestowed upon him by the moon goddess. That night, the Lycan prince marked her a
CarrieAfter a quick shower, I changed into my training clothes. For our first day of training, I wore a comfy shirt and stretchy shorts. The fabric felt nice against my skin and was perfect for this physical activity.Following Jesse's directions, I went to the western border. This is the part of the Silverfang territory with big boulders and a waterfall. I have a feeling that Jesse had chosen this place for a particular reason, yet I could not fathom what type of activity we were going to do there.On my way there, I did a few stretches, and I immediately felt my muscles loosen up. The path had bushes and flowers along it, and the late afternoon sun made everything look warm and cozy.The gentle breeze rustled the leaves around. I stretched a little more, enjoying the sensation. Just standing there, I felt both excited and curious about what Jesse wanted me to do. A few more steps, I reached the bottom of the waterfall where Jesse had asked me to meet.Sensing my presence, Jesse tur
CarrieI sat outside the Silverfang boardroom, my heart racing like a speedy train. Today wasn't just any day—it was the day the Silverfang council would review the results of Luna training I'd started a month ago. This will determine my fate as the future Luna of this pack. I couldn’t shake the thought of what they would say to me. What if all the hard work I put up wasn’t enough? “Relax, Carrie. I am sure the council will see your improvements,” Vera whispered in my head, But doubt still crept inside me. “But what if they don’t?” “It wouldn’t help if you think negatively. Just stay focused and let the moon goddess shower her grace upon you.” I heaved a sigh and surrendered my fate in the deity’s hands. Just in Jesse's secretary showed up. With a smile on her face, she uttered, "Lady Carrie, it's time.Her words felt like a lightning bolt, making my body shudder once again. So, I followed her, my mouth dry and my stomach doing cartwheels. The thump of my heart is like a drum in
CarrieIt took us approximately ten minutes before we reached the training grounds. Seeing us approaching made the warriors stop whatever they were doing to greet us. Their eyes trailed to our arrival, with a mixture of curiosity and reverence mixing the air as they observe us. The warrior leader stepped forward to greet us. “Greetings, Silverfang council. What has led the distinguished council to grace the training grounds with its presence?”“Stopped whatever you are doing and prepare the training ground for a very important fight,” Jesse announced. Hearing this, the warrior leader bowed his head. “Most certainly, Alpha. But may I ask between whom should this fight be?”“The council wishes to see the alpha’s mate on the battlefield,” Beta Corey declared. Hearing this, all eyes turned towards me. The snob Beta continued. “Where’s my daughter Kelly? Ask her to prepare as she would be the one to spar the alpha’s mate.”“Forgive me, Beta, but your daughter is not here,” the warrior le
KellyBeing the Beta daughter, a lot of things had been placed upon my shoulders. One of those things is representing my father in important business deals, which I did today. Since he resigned as the head of our enterprise two years ago, the responsibility was passed on to me.My dad is an aging wolf, and as his heir and protégé, I took over all of our businesses. We are not the wealthiest family in Silverfang out of nothing. Part of our wealth was gained through business collaborations with other packs. Trade and commerce were our fields of expertise.In reality, we had the means to easily establish a new pack using the wealth we had accumulated throughout the years. However, my father, driven by pride and conservatism, adamantly declined that option. Throughout his life, his singular aspiration was to lead the prestigious Silverfang Pack. He began his journey as a slave skillfully using his intellect to navigate a path to his desired position. If only he had been blessed with physi
CarrieAs I made my way down the hallway towards Jesse's office, my heart was racing with excitement. Today was a day I had been looking forward to, the day we were finally going to have lunch together in his office. I couldn't help but smile as I balanced the carefully prepared lunch boxes in my hands. The morning had been a flood of activity as I put together the meal, wanting everything to be just right.With each step, my anticipation grew, and I couldn't shake off the flutter of nerves that accompanied it. I knew it was a simple lunch, but it felt like a big step for us especially now that everything seemed fit in our favor. It was a chance to spend some quality time together outside of our usual routine, a chance to deepen our connection and to show the whole pack what we were as a couple. "Do you think Jesse will like these bento lunches I prepared?" I asked Vera within my thoughts, stealing another glance at the meticulously arranged boxes before resuming my slow advance towa
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
