Amanda“Close down all borders.” I commanded.I knew for a fact that my words must have hit Beatrice and Alex so well because what wasn’t what they expected to hear from me at that moment but I had just thought about it and I knew that closing down the borders would go a long way in helping and strengthening the security level of our kingdom. Now that Zane thought I was somewhat weak, this was the best time for me to show him that even though he could weaken my body, he would never be able to tamper with my soul.“Is there something you’ve discovered?” Alex asked.He was always the more reasonable one especially when it came to these matters but at that moment, I didn't even want him to think it through but just act because this had to do with a life and death situation. “Yes and I realize that if we do not shut down our border, Zane and his people will have free access in my pack and that is something I can not afford happening.” I said.There was silence in the area as soon as I sa
MarcusI knew that for Amanda to even agree to do this, it had to be something she had thought about for a long time and I really admired her bravery for even agreeing to it. It was one thing to even conceive the idea of this and acting it out was another thing entirely.“I promise you babe, nothing is going to go wrong.” I said.I needed to give her that assurance because even though she might be scared, which I had clearly seen, I knew that she needed all the comfort I could give her. She had been through a lot in her years of being an Alpha and the worst part of it all was that Zane wasn’t even giving her any breathing space.“Why did everything turn out to be this way? Why can’t Zane just give up and forget about his stupid revenge mission.” she sighed.“It's the fact that he wants to get back at you for me. I mean, i knew he was vengeful all along, seeing what he did to my pack but in another thought, it just shows how insensitive and wicked he is.”“Right now, I don't really thi
AmandaWalking into what I would like to be a shrine had to be one the craziest things I had done in a long while. The atmosphere was charged and I knew that if I even screamed, it would echo round the whole building because that was how hollow it was and I was a bit scared because I didn't even know what to expect.“Stay calm,” Marcus smiled.How on earth did he think i could stay calm even with everything that was going on around us, didn’t he see the various effigy that was around us. I was getting anxious now, I knew it but I just couldn’t help it because this was something I wasn't used to at all. As we walked deeper and deeper into the building, I knew that there was no going back. I was already in and nothing was going to take me back out until I got the answers to the questions I badly needed to hear.“Finally, we are here.” Marcus said.I looked around, trying to understand what he meant by that but try as I may, I couldn't quite get what he meant. Looking at where we stood,
ZaneAs I paced within my throne room, the grand hall echoing with each step, a strange energy began to fill the air. It was an unfamiliar sensation, a prickling awareness that crawled over my skin and set my senses on high alert. My eyes narrowed, scanning the room for any immediate threat, but there was nothing visible. The vast expanse of the chamber, with its towering columns and intricate tapestries depicting my numerous victories, seemed to mock my sudden unease."Amanda," I muttered under my breath, the name dripping with venom. It had to be her. My enemy, the one who had always managed to slip through my fingers, like sand refusing to be held. I clenched my fists, feeling the raw power surging just beneath the surface of my skin. "I need to make haste.” I whispered to myself, the urgency of the situation crystallizing in my mind. Amanda could not be allowed to harness my power. If she did, it would spell doom not just for me, but for everything I had built, everything I had
AmandaThe first thing we were meant to do when it came to defeating Zane was looking for the ornament that the spiritual leader had told us about. It was one thing to find it and another thing to wield its power and when it came to do, i knew that both of us needed to be extremely careful because now, we were dealing with extraterrestrial forces and one slip up could very well mean the end of us which was something i needed to avoid at all cost.The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the sprawling compound of our pack's territory. As Marcus and I approached, I could feel the weight of the past few weeks bearing down on me. The tension of our plan, the uncertainty of our future, and the ever-present threat of Zane loomed like a dark cloud but tonight, there was a glimmer of hope. We had a plan, a potential solution, and that alone was enough to drive us forward."Marcus," I said, turning to him as we walked through the gates. "I need to talk to Alex and Beatrice. Ca
TianaI sat by the window, the morning sun casting a warm glow over the kitchen, yet the light couldn't seem to chase away the shadows in my heart. Zane had left early, his usual confident stride carrying him out the door without a hint of the storm brewing within our lives. I could still feel the echo of his presence, his words lingering like a haunting melody I couldn't shake. "Tiana, we need to talk," he'd said last night, his voice a mixture of determination and something else—something darker.Zane's plan against Amanda and her pack was no secret to me. I had heard the whispered conversations, seen the secretive glances exchanged between Zane and his closest men. My heart clenched at the thought of my sister, strong and fierce, but also vulnerable in ways only I knew. How could I stand by and let my husband hurt her? Yet, how could I betray Zane, the man I had vowed to support, to stand beside in every battle?"Hey, you okay?" Zane's voice pulled me back to the present. He stoo
AmandaAs soon as I stepped back into the familiar territory of our pack, I felt a mix of relief and tension settle over me. The weight of the meeting with Tiana still pressed heavily on my mind. I wasted no time, immediately calling for Alex and Beatrice. They both arrived swiftly, sensing the urgency in my voice when I summoned them."What's going on, Amanda?" Alex asked, his eyes sharp with concern. He had always been the more skeptical of the two, always on high alert for any threat to our pack. His dark hair was tousled, probably from the training ground, and he had that look that told me he was ready to spring into action if needed."I just met with Tiana," I began, watching their reactions closely. Beatrice's eyebrows shot up, while Alex's eyes narrowed. "She wants to make peace."Beatrice nodded slowly, understanding the implications immediately. "After everything she's done? Are you sure about this, Amanda?" she asked, her voice calm yet filled with the gravity of the situat
ZaneThe first thing that woke me up that morning was the shrill, piercing wail of the emergency alarm. The sound jolted me awake with a start, my heart pounding in my chest. I sat up in bed, my senses immediately on high alert. Something was terribly wrong. I threw off the covers and sprang to my feet, grabbing my clothes and pulling them on in a hurry. The alarm continued its relentless blare, echoing through the walls of the pack house. My mind raced as I hurried out of my room and into the hallway, shouting orders to my men."Get up! Everyone, get up! Defend our territory!" I barked, my voice hoarse with urgency. Doors flew open as my pack members spilled into the corridor, their faces etched with confusion and fear."Zane, what's happening?" Tiana asked, her eyes wide."I don't know yet, but we need to be ready for anything," I replied, clapping him on the shoulder. "Gather everyone in the main hall. We need to organize our defenses."As we rushed downstairs, I could already he
