The morning sun cast a warm glow over the scene as they made their way to the front door. Viggo followed them, his steps steady and composed. Scarlett and Xavier stood by, giving Karina and Viggo a moment of privacy. As they reached the door, Viggo's gaze locked onto Karina's eyes. His hand cupped her cheek tenderly, his thumb caressing her skin. "Remember, Karina, your safety is my priority. Take all the time you need, but please be cautious." Karina leaned into his touch, her heart fluttering at his concern. "I promise, Viggo. I won't take any unnecessary risks." He leaned down and pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead. "That's all I ask. Enjoy your day." Karina's lips curved into a soft smile, her eyes shining with affection. "I will, and I'll come back with the perfect gift for Sophie and Ezra." With one last gaze that conveyed volumes of love and reassurance, Viggo reluctantly let go of her and stepped back. Scarlett stepped forward, w
Amidst the bustling shop, Karina's eyes sparkled as she finally settled on the perfect wedding gift for Sophie and Ezra. She held a delicately carved wooden box, inside of which lay a pair of intricately designed silver spoons. The symbolism of sharing meals together and creating a life of nourishment and love resonated deeply with her.With a satisfied smile, Karina turned to Xavier, who had been standing by her side, a silent sentinel throughout her decision-making process. "Xavier, could you hold onto this for me?" she asked playfully, knowing well that he had been vigilant in his watch over her.Xavier's eyebrow arched slightly in surprise at the request, but he took the box with a nod, his eyes never leaving Karina's form. There was an unspoken understanding between them, a connection that went beyond words.Karina chuckled at the mix of seriousness and responsibility that Xavier always carried. "Thank you, Xavier. I trust you to keep it safe."As Xa
"Y- you?" Karina uttered, her voice caught in her throat, and suddenly the glass container bottle in her hand slipped from her grasp.The man with a limp in front of her just offered a smile, then approached Karina and whispered, "Something big is about to happen. You better prepare yourself. You will die after this," the man said.He then picked up his shopping items and quickly left with his limp and the support of a black cane to walk.Upon reaching the front of the store, the man glanced at the idling car parked right in front of the shop, his gaze meeting Xavier's figure behind the wheel.Xavier, who was patiently waiting for Karina, squinted at the man who had just exited the same store as Karina and immediately shifted his position. Xavier was sure he was familiar with the man."Shit!" Xavier exclaimed loudly, startling Scarlett in the back seat awake from her sleep."What's wrong?" Scarlett mumbled, her voice hoarse from just waking
As the half moon cast its silvery glow over Celestria, a sense of urgency and concern hung heavy in the air. Karina's injuries had shaken the tranquil atmosphere of the castle, leaving everyone on edge.Viggo's normally steady demeanor had been replaced by a fiery determination as he summoned the members of the pack to the room that often held discussions of utmost importance.One by one, the members trickled into the room, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and worry. Scarlett, Xavier, Dante, Arlo, and Poldo formed a semi circle, their eyes fixed on Viggo as he entered the room with purpose, his footsteps echoing with a resolute cadence.The Alpha's presence was commanding, and his aura radiated a powerful blend of anger and concern. His jaw was set, and his brows furrowed as he took in the faces of those gathered. It was clear that the attack on Karina had struck a deeply personal chord within him."Karina's safety should have been our primary foc
Since the day Karina returned after buying the wedding gift for Sophie and Ezra, she seemed to change without any apparent reason. Sometimes, Viggo felt like Karina was intentionally distancing herself from him without any explanation.However, Viggo chose not to dwell on it too much, reasoning that it might be due to the heightened pregnancy hormones as Karina's due date drew near. He understood the emotional roller coaster that pregnancy could bring.Aware that Karina preferred solitude, Viggo decided to give her space. He noticed that she had even started working in a different part of their home, specifically in a cozy reading room that also had a desk for work. As usual, Arlo, his trusted Beta, was with him in that space.Viggo and Arlo were engrossed in their respective tasks in the office workroom at Celestria. Viggo was seated at his desk, going through the documents related to his work for Deverell Apparel. Arlo had taken the responsibility of reviewing
Viggo's steps were quiet as he entered their bedroom, finding Karina standing by the window, lost in thought. The soft glow of the setting sun cast a warm and gentle light around her, accentuating her beauty in a way that always took his breath away."Hey, honey," Viggo said softly, his voice carrying a mix of affection and tenderness.Karina turned to him with a small smile, her eyes reflecting the colors of the evening sky. "Hey,"He closed the distance between them, his hand reaching out to gently brush a strand of hair behind her ear. "You've been quiet. Everything okay?"Karina nodded, her smile growing a bit more. "Yeah, I was just enjoying the view."Viggo followed her gaze out the window, the sight of the castle grounds bathed in the warm hues of sunset. He then turned his attention back to her, his eyes holding a subtle invitation."You know," he began, "I was thinking about something."Karina raised an eyebrow, curiosity evi
Dozens of women with slender, statuesque, and alluring figures took turns gracefully striding in front of a large mirror. Their sharply defined facial features, keen eyes, and chiseled chins added to the perfect impression of the women, who were professional models.Accompanied by loud music, they synchronized their stride rhythm with the elegant click of their black heels, as if they were on the stage of a prestigious fashion event, watched by hundreds to thousands of people.One of the women, tall and statuesque, with nearly flawless facial features, long wavy blonde hair, and striking green eyes, confidently walked towards the mirror. As she posed directly in front of it, their instructor and coach flashed a smile, clearly pleased with the woman's performance.Being the last in line, she concluded their practice session with a smile, striking several more poses in front of the audience.

After finishing the training session, Selena made her way to the changing room to change out of her workout attire. As she emerged from the changing room, she noticed her friend and fellow model, Alice, waiting for her outside. Alice had a hopeful look in her eyes, as if she was about to ask something important."Hey, Selena," Alice greeted with a smile. "Can I talk to you for a moment?""Of course, Alice," Selena replied, her own smile warm and inviting.Alice took a deep breath, clearly gathering her thoughts. "Well, you know, I've been admiring your journey in the modeling world. You've achieved so much, and you always look incredible on the runway. I was wondering if you could share some tips with me, especially about being a successful supermodel."Selena felt a sense of camaraderie with Alice. After all, they were both part of the same industry and understood the challenges and aspirations that came with it. She leaned against a nearby wall and cons
The atmosphere was filled with the warmth of friendship and the joy of reunions. As Harry, Emma, and Martin joined the festivities, their presence added to the sense of togetherness that had come to define this group of extraordinary individuals.Harry, with his usual charisma, shared stories that had everyone laughing, while Emma's bright smile and Martin's witty remarks kept the conversations flowing. The camaraderie was palpable as old friends caught up and new connections were formed.Dante and Natalia, the inseparable couple, joined the group, their laughter blending seamlessly with the chatter around them. Emma's curiosity led her to ask Natalia about her profession, and with a proud smile, Natalia confirmed that she was indeed a midwife.Harry, intrigued, turned to Dante. "And what about you, Dante? What's your role in all of this?"Dante chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Natalia. "Well, I'm not as directly involved in the medical field as Natalia, but I do support her i
Seven years later….Gathering around the barbecue, the pleasant aroma of grilling meat filled the air. Viggo arrived carrying a bag of meat, his son Easton walking by his side. As he stepped into the scene, Karina's eyes lit up, and she approached him with a smile, planting a warm kiss on his lips, a familiar and comforting gesture that spoke volumes about their love and connection.A sudden commotion caught their attention. Eloise, now a lively 7 year old, darted away, her laughter filling the air as she was chased by Kaiser, the young son of Odette and Lancelot.Eloise's playfulness was evident as she skillfully maneuvered around the tables and chairs, Kaiser hot on her heels. However, the carefree chase soon transformed into a playful argument.Eloise's voice rang out, "Kaiser, stop it! I don't want to be your Luna!"Kaiser, his youthful determination evident, responded with a cheeky grin, "But Eloise, we're going to get married
Upon hearing Scarlett's news about Harry's continued breathing after Gandalf left his body, Richard's eyes widened in disbelief and hope. Without wasting any time, he swiftly moved towards Harry's side, his heart pounding with a mix of worry and urgency.He signaled Poldo to assist him in transferring Harry to the nearby dining table, a more stable surface for medical treatment."Careful, Poldo. Let's get him over here," Richard instructed, his voice steady despite the turmoil within him.The two of them carefully moved Harry's unconscious form, and as Richard began to assess his condition, the room was tense with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.Scarlett watched anxiously as Richard skillfully worked, his hands moving with precision as he used his medical equipment to assess Harry's vital signs.

In a chaotic and fierce battle, the clash between the werewolves and the army of artificially created humans under Gandalf's command intensified. The battlefield was a symphony of roars, clashes, and the crackling of magical spells. The moonlit night bore witness to the desperate struggle for dominance, each side fighting with all their might.Gandalf, his body now a mosaic of scars and wounds, moved with an eerie determination. The dark magic coursing through him granted him an unnatural strength, but it was clear that his body was reaching its limits. The wounds inflicted by the werewolves and their relentless attacks had taken a toll, and his ability to regenerate had slowed down considerably.As he pushed through the battlefield, his gaze was fixed on the castle in the distance, his ultimate target. The castle, once a symbol of power and unity among the werewolves, now stood as the last line of defense against his relentless advance. He was determined to break thro
As the intense battle raged on, Viggo's vision slowly cleared as he struggled to regain his senses. His body ached, and the taste of blood lingered in his mouth, evidence of the toll that the fight had taken on him. Yet, something within him had changed. It was as if a dormant power had been awakened, fueled by the urgency of the situation.Summoning all his strength, Viggo pushed himself up from the ground, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew he couldn't afford to falter now, not when the fate of Celestria hung in the balance.Coughing up blood, Viggo managed to stagger to his feet, his presence commanding and formidable. With a newfound energy coursing through his veins, he felt the power of the alpha surging within him, stronger than ever before. The injuries and exhaustion seemed distant as he focused solely on the battle at hand.“Sir, are you okay?!” ask Arlo panicked when see blood in Viggo’s hand.Ignoring the pain, Vig
As the full moon cast its ethereal glow over the surroundings, a chorus of howls echoed through the night as the werewolves emerged from the shelter of Celestria. Meanwhile, inside Eloise's old room, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of anticipation and tension.Karina's face contorted in pain as the contractions intensified. Natalia, Selena, and Zayn stood by her side, offering words of encouragement and support. Lavinia had departed, her presence now among the werewolves outside.Karina's grip tightened on the bedsheet beneath her as another wave of pain surged through her. Natalia adjusted her medical equipment, ready to assist in the process. Selena held Karina's hand firmly, her eyes filled with empathy and reassurance. Zayn was standing a bit farther, giving Karina the space she needed while his face displayed a mix of worry and determination.Suddenly, the room seemed to vibrate with a primal energy. A resonating roar, not of agony but of power, r
Everyone gathered in Viggo and Karina's room, watching as Karina began to feel the pain in her abdomen. They were all enthusiastic about the impending birth of the twin babies that would soon arrive tonight.Richard, who was also in the room, glanced out the window and saw the moonlight of the full moon still obscured by clouds. He turned and nodded to Arlo, signaling something unspoken."It's time to move Miss Karina to Miss Eloise's room, sir," Arlo said to Viggo.Viggo, who had been sitting beside Karina, holding her hand, gently kissed her forehead, providing a sense of calm. "I'm sure you're strong, my love. You're my wife, and you've come so far to overcome everything. Now it's time for you to fight for the last time," Viggo told Karina, trying to encourage his wife.Karina nodded her head, feeling her pain increasing as if the time to give birth was near. Her contractions continued to intensify as time passed.Slowly, Viggo released his grip
Viggo and Zayn stood casually outside a small convenience store, each holding a cup of steaming coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted in the air as they leaned against the wall. The evening was cool, and the soft glow of the store's lights added a cozy ambiance to the scene.Zayn chuckled softly as he observed Viggo taking a sip of his coffee. "I can't help but find it amusing, you know," Zayn said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Viggo raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "What's amusing?"Zayn's grin widened. "You, drinking coffee. I mean, I've heard about werewolves and their unique diet. Coffee isn't exactly part of that, is it?"Viggo chuckled in response, his lips curling into a wry smile. "You've got a point there. No, coffee isn't a usual part of our diet."Zayn playfully nudged Viggo's arm. "So, what's the occasion? Celebrating a successful arrest?"Viggo took another sip of his coffee, his expression thoughtful. "Not ex
The sound of a knock on the door made Zayn, who was immersed in his work, finally look towards the source of the sound. Coinciding with the knocking, the door to his office opened, and a man appeared behind it."What's up, Shawn?" Zayn asked as he saw Shawn, his assistant, entering the room.Shawn walked closer to Zayn and handed him a piece of paper. "The arrest warrant for Lucas has been issued. The CCTV footage you requested to be enhanced has been clarified, and the evidence is strong enough to prove that he ignited the fire at the hospital," Shawn explained.Zayn's eyes lit up instantly. He stood up from his seat and glanced at the arrest warrant. "Do the police know?" Zayn inquired."Yes, they do. They're heading to the location to apprehend Lucas," Shawn replied."Then let's go there too," Zayn said decisively.Shawn nodded and left Zayn's office first. Before leaving, Zayn reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and dialed Viggo
