Beatrice

The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows that danced ominously around the edges of our camp. I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at my gut. Amanda should have been back by now. As the pack's Gamma, my senses were always on high alert, but this time, something felt different—something felt wrong. I paced the length of the common room, my mind racing with possibilities, each more unsettling than the last.

Amanda was strong and capable, yet the thought of her alone out there in the growing darkness sent a chill down my spine.

Alex walked in, his expression a mirror of my own concern. "Beatrice," he said, his voice calm but laced with an undertone of worry.

"She could just be running late. You know how she is. Maybe she found something interesting and lost track of time."

I shook my head, trying to quell the anxiety rising within me. "No, Alex. This isn't like her. She knows how important it is to come back on time, we’ve gone over the plan countless t

    ZaneThe dim light from a single bulb flickered overhead, casting erratic shadows on the cold, damp walls. I could feel the raw ache in my wrists and ankles where the ropes bit into my skin. Amanda’s pack was a testament to her careful nature, with every tool and weapon neatly arranged, ready to be used at a moment's notice. I knew it was only a matter of time before she or one of her pack members came down to make sure I paid for everything I had ever done to them. The thought was almost surreal, like being trapped in a waking nightmare, a state of limbo where reality and my worst fears blended into one.The door creaked open, and Amanda stepped in, her presence commanding the room. She was flanked by two of her most loyal pack members, their eyes gleaming with anticipation."Comfortable, Zane?" Amanda's voice dripped with a mixture of sarcasm and venom. I tried to muster a smirk, but it felt weak and forced."As comfortable as one can be in the belly of the beast," I replied, tryin

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   You are stuck.

    Amanda: A few hours earlierThe world around me was a blur, of muffled sounds and people walking all around. I felt Beatrice and Alex, their arms strong and unwavering as they carried me to safety. Each step they took sent jolts of pain through my body, as if my entire being was on fire, yet I was still numb in places. I could barely understand what was happening, my senses dulled by the agony and exhaustion. Voices, familiar yet distant, floated around me, fragments of concern and urgency mixing together in a haze."Is she going to be alright?" one voice, deep and gruff, cut through the fog. I recognized it as Greg, one of my loyal warriors, his tone filled with worry."I don't know," Beatrice's voice trembled slightly, betraying her usual calm demeanor. "We need to get her back to the pack house, now."I wanted to reassure them, to tell them I was still here, but my mouth refused to obey. My eyelids felt like lead, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them. Panic bubbled

It had only been a stroke of luck when Amanda was called away and by no other person but my wife.

    Amanda Seeing Tiana within my pack after what we’ve promised ourselves was something I didn't expect. I mean, i expected to see her after the battle was over but now, seeing her now just told me that she and Zane might have had a plan to help him escape because i didn’t really see any reason why she was here. It just didn’t make sense.“What do you want?” I said, icily.There was tension in the area, that much I could tell. What I hated at that moment was not knowing the plan that she and Zane had. It made me mad because I knew that she didn’t just come here on her own volition, there was definitely something going on and I wanted nothing more than to know what it was. Tiana remained silent like i wasn’t talking to her which made me mad because it just meant that she didn’t regard me at all and she hadn’t put what was between us behind her.“For the last time Tiana, what do you want?” I asked again.I was slowly losing my patience and I knew that I would lose it if she didn’t tell me

    BeatriceAs soon as Zane broke free from the binds we had put him in, I knew we were in for total chaos. I watched from a corner, my heart pounding in my chest, unable to tear my eyes away from the scene unfolding before me. It was surreal, like something out of a nightmare. Zane had turned into something unrecognizable—a monster. His muscles bulged, his eyes glowed with a malevolent light, and an aura of raw power radiated from him. We had underestimated him, and now we were paying the price.Amanda stood bravely before him, her stance strong and determined. I could see the tension in her body, the resolve in her eyes. "Zane, you don't have to do this," she pleaded, her voice steady despite the obvious danger. "We can help you. Whatever you're going through, we can find a way to fix it."But Zane only laughed, a sound that sent chills down my spine. "Help me? You think you can help me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "I don't need your help, Amanda. I don't need any

I stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the world that now seemed so small, so manageable. It was hard to believe that not long ago, I was just another face in the crowd, another insignificant speck in the grand tapestry of existence. But now? Now I was a god, or at least something very close to it."Zane, you have to be careful," I murmured to myself, the wind carrying my voice away. I knew I was right. This power, this incredible, unearthly strength, it was a gift but it was also a curse if I didn't handle it correctly. No one could know the source of my abilities. If they did, they could find a way to strip them from me, to use them against me and I couldn't allow that.

Each breath was a struggle, each inhale and exhale a battle against the pain that radiated from my stomach. It felt like I had been stabbed, a searing, sharp agony that consumed my entire being. My hand instinctively pressed against the wound, but I couldn't feel any blood, just an overwhelming emptiness. A hollow sensation that told me something, or someone, had been taken away from me."Beatrice," I gasped, my voice barely a whisper. The pain was so intense that it was hard to form words, but I knew I had to communicate what I was feeling. Beatrice was crouched beside me, her face a mask of concern and determination. Her hands moved swiftly, checking my injuries, trying to stabilize me."Amanda, hold on," Beatrice urged, her voice steady but laced with urgency. "You're going to be okay. Just stay with me.""No," I managed to croak out, shaking my head slightly.

    AmandaThe moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield. I stood at the edge of the clearing, my heart pounding in my chest. The air was thick with tension, and every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, to hide, to escape but I couldn't. This was it. The final showdown between me and Zane. There was no turning back now. I had to face him, to confront the man who had taken everything from me. I had to beat him once and for all.I clenched my fists, feeling the rough bark of the tree behind me digging into my back. I had to steady myself, to focus. The memory of Zane's betrayal burned in my mind, fueling my resolve. He had taken my family, my friends, and my home. He had left me with nothing but a burning desire for revenge. And now, it was time to make him pay."I know you're out there, Amanda," Zane's voice cut through the silence like a knife. I tensed, my eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of movement. "There's no point in hiding. Come out and face m

    ZaneAs I faced Amanda, I couldn’t help but marvel at the fierce determination that burned in her eyes. She moved with an intensity that caught me off guard, each strike delivered with a force that spoke volumes about her resolve. I had underestimated her, and now, as I struggled to keep up with her relentless attacks, I realized just how formidable she truly was."Is this all you’ve got, Zane?" Amanda taunted, her voice a mix of anger and sorrow. "Did you really think you could get away with killing Tiana?"I blocked her punch, feeling the impact reverberate through my arm. "It wasn’t personal, Amanda. You know how this world works."Her eyes narrowed, and she swung her leg in a swift arc, aiming for my head. I barely ducked in time, the air whistling as her kick missed its mark by inches. "Not personal? She was my sister, you bastard! You took her from me!"I couldn’t deny the truth of her words. Tiana had been Amanda’s estranged sister, and my actions had set off a chain of events

    AmandaThe air was thick with anticipation, the kind that made your skin prickle and your senses heighten to an almost unbearable degree. I could feel it deep within me, an unshakeable certainty that Zane, with all his malice and wickedness, was heading towards our pack. This wasn't just a gut feeling; it was as if every fiber of my being was screaming out in warning. The battle we had both started long ago was far from over, and I knew that he was coming to finish it. My breath hitched as I considered the implications. Zane was not just a formidable opponent; he was ruthless and relentless, qualities that made him even more dangerous."Get ready!" I barked, my voice carrying the urgency of the situation. The warriors of my pack, loyal and unwavering, moved with swift precision. They knew what was at stake. "We cannot let him win. Not this time." My heart pounded as I watched them prepare, each one a crucial part of the defense that stood between Zane and our survival.Beatrice, my
