...Rowland pov…
As we walked, I felt the eyes of the townspeople on us. They were afraid, and they were uncertain. But I was determined to show them that I was here to help, and that there was nothing to fear.
When we reached the town square, I climbed up onto a raised platform and raised my hands for silence. The crowd quieted, and I began to speak.
"People of Willow Creek," I said, my voice ringing out across the square. "I've come to address the rumors that are spreading through this town. The plague is not a punishment from the gods, and it is not a curse from a rival pack."
I paused, letting my words sink in. The people were listening, their eyes fixed on me.
"We are investigating the cause of the disease," I continued. "We will find a cure, and we will heal those who are affected. But in the meantime, I need you
… Elena I had a restless night. I couldn't help but think about the situation in Willow Creek and the people who were suffering from the disease. I made a decision that I had to go back and help. I woke up early and knew exactly what I needed to do. I had made a decision that I knew would greatly impact my life and I was eager to see it through. I quickly got dressed and made my way to the head maid's room, my heart beating with a hint of nervousness. As I walked down the halls of the palace, I couldn't help but think about what I was about to do. The halls were filled with people discussing in groups. "The news isn't out yet" , she thought. I finally reached the head maid's room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. The door creaked open and the head maid appeared, her eyes sleepy but with a hint of surprise as she saw me so early in
… Elena POV...As I sat beside Rowland's bed, watching him toss and turn in feverish sleep, I couldn't help but feel helpless. The doctors had done all they could, but his condition was only worsening by the hour. I knew I had to do something to save him.As I walked into my room, I went straight to my bookshelf and pulled out the book of dark magic. I sat down on my bed, opened the book, and started searching for a spell that could cure Rowland.Hours passed as I read through page after page of spells, incantations, and rituals. Some of them were dangerous, some of them were useless, but I didn't stop until I found what I was looking for.It was a spell for healing, a spell that promised to cure even the most deadly of diseases. I was skeptical at first, but as I read through the incantation, I felt a strange power within me. I knew that this was the spell I was lo
... Selena pov…As I walked into Rowland's room, I was filled with a mix of emotions. Seeing him lying there, weakened by the disease that had been spreading through our pack, made my heart ache. I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for not being there for him when he needed me most.When I saw Freya standing by his bedside, I felt anger bubble up inside me. Why was she here, of all people? I walked up to her, my eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What are you doing here?" I spat, "Get out."Freya simply looked at me, unruffled by my hostility, and stepped aside. I approached Rowland, and as I looked at him, I realized that his condition was far worse than I had thought. He was barely conscious, and his breathing was labored. I could see the fear and desperation in his eyes, and I felt a sudden urge of pity as I looked at him.I can still se
… Selena POV…But the members were not happy with this arrangement and it showed on their face."Where is the alpha?" one of the council members asked me, his tone sharp.I met his gaze coolly, "He is busy and has left me in charge."The council members frowned, murmuring amongst themselves. "Get the alpha," another member demanded.I scowled at them, anger boiling inside of me. I was tired of the constant disrespect and doubt I faced as a female leader in a male-dominated pack. But I kept my cool and replied, "The alpha trusts me to handle this matter. I am perfectly capable of leading this council."The council members grumbled, but I stood my ground. I was determined to prove my worth and earn the respect of the pack.I sat at the co
I reclined on my luxurious bed, I called out to my maid, "Maria, come here."Maria promptly entered my room and asked, "What can I do for you, my lady?""Go to the designer's store and get me the most beautiful dress they have," I commanded.Maria bowed and left, promising to return soon with the dress.Hours later, I heard a soft knock on my door and Maria entered, holding a beautifully wrapped package. I tore open the paper to reveal three stunning dresses. Each one was more gorgeous than the last, each made from the finest silk and adorned with shimmering gems.The first was a floor-length gown in a rich emerald green, with a fitted bodice and full skirt that would twirl beautifully as I danced. The second was a ball gown in a deep sapphire blue, with a sweetheart neckline and a skirt that was covered in delicate beading. And the third was a straple
… Selena POV…I groggily opened my eyes, confused about where I was. Everything was hazy, and my head felt heavy. My memory of the previous night was patchy, but I remembered the events that led up to me being in this room. I was at a show, where I was the center of attention, and I had drunk too much wine.The room was dark, with only a small lamp illuminating the space. The curtains were drawn shut, blocking out any light from outside. I tried to sit up, but my head spun, and I lay back down again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to steady myself.I remembered seeing miss Caroline at the show, and she had said something that still made me angry. She had accused me of trying to seduce beta Josh, and I had wanted to confront her. But I was too drunk to remember what had happened next.A knock at the door brought me back to reality. "Miss Luna,
… Rowland pov…I walked into my office, ready for a briefing on the current state of the pack. I sat down at my desk and motioned for Thomas, my guard, to come forward."Thomas, what's the report on the pack?" I asked, my brow furrowed with concern."Unfortunately, things are not looking good, sir," Thomas replied solemnly. "The plague that's been spreading through the pack is getting worse. We've tried everything we can to contain it, but it's just getting worse."I frowned, the weight of the situation settling heavily on my shoulders. "And what about the other packs? Have they reached out to offer any help?"Thomas shook his head. "I'm afraid not. In fact, all the other packs have cut all connections with us because of the disease. They don't want to risk getting infected."I rubbed my temples, trying to come up wit
… Beta josh…When the alpha finally arrived, I stood up, ready to make my case. I explained the situation and how the plague had affected our pack.I implored him to consider the greater good and to lend us their support. But, just like the first alpha, this one was unyielding. He cited the safety and security of his own pack as his top priority and refused to offer any assistance.I left that palace, feeling increasingly hopeless. As I traveled to the next pack, the answer was always the same. No pack was willing to lend a hand, they all stood firm in their decision to protect their own. I was running out of options, and the weight on my chest grew heavier with each rejection.As I entered the pack's main hall, I couldn't help but feel defeated. My mission to seek assistance from other packs had been a failure. I approached Rowland, our Alpha, and bega
…Freya's pov… I stood before the gathered pack, the weight of responsibility settled upon my shoulders. The time had come to reveal the depths of my power, the dark magic that coursed through my veins. I took a deep breath, meeting Rowland's supportive gaze, finding strength in his unwavering love."My fellow pack members," I began, my voice steady yet filled with a sense of anticipation. "As your Luna, it is my duty to ensure the well-being and prosperity of our pack. In the depths of my journey, I have discovered a power within me, a power that I believe can bring healing and renewal to our beloved pack."A hush fell over the crowd as all eyes were fixed upon me, their anticipation palpable. I raised my hands, palms facing upwards, as I tapped into the reservoir of dark magic that resided within me. The energy surged through my fingertips, coursing through every fiber of my being.Slowly, deliberately, my hands began to move in a fluid dance, tracing intricate patterns in the air.
…Rowland's pov…Freya picked up a small delicacy from the table and brought it to my lips. The crowd erupted into cheers and playful banter, their infectious enthusiasm filling the air. As I accepted the morsel, a wave of warmth washed over me. It was not just the taste of the food that stirred my senses; it was the act itself, a gesture of love and nurturing, a symbol of the care and devotion we shared.The entire gathering was soon being served refreshments, as the pack members indulged in the feast before them. Laughter and merriment filled the air as conversations flowed, and the bonds of camaraderie grew even stronger.Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, the elder officiating the ceremony stepped forward once again, his voice cutting through the jovial ambiance. "It is time for the newlyweds to retire to their room," he announced, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.Freya's face flushed with a delightful mix of embarrassment and excitement, and a playful smile danced on my li

The voices of our pack members rose in unison, their enthusiastic shouts filling the air with a symphony of celebration. It was a chorus of love and support, a tangible manifestation of the bonds that united us all."Rowland and Freya! Forever together!" I heard a voice cry out, the words carrying a deep sense of happiness and anticipation. The cheers grew louder, their collective energy fueling our spirits and igniting a fire within our hearts.I locked eyes with Freya, and our smiles mirrored each other's. We could feel the love radiating from our pack, their genuine happiness for us resonating in every cheer and applause. It was an overwhelming feeling, knowing that we were surrounded by a community that embraced and celebrated our love."Alpha and Luna! Strong and united!" another voice exclaimed, the words resonating with a sense of pride and admiration. The pack members waved
…Rowland's pov…My alpha presence and aura commanded attention. I surveyed the scene from across the room. Spotting Freya, resplendent in her flowing white gown, her hair cascading down her shoulders in loose curls, he felt his heart skip a beat. Approaching her with a smile, he extended his hand."May I have this dance, my love?" Rowland asked, his voice filled with warmth and adoration.Freya's eyes sparkled with delight as she placed her hand in his, her fingers intertwining with his own. She nodded, a radiant smile gracing her lips."Of course, Rowland," she replied, her voice filled with joy. "I would be honored."As the music swelled, the room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own private world. They moved with grace and synchrony, their bodies swaying to the enchanting melody. Rowland held Freya close, his hand resting gently on the small of her back, as they twirled across the dance floor.In the midst of the swirling dancers and the mesmerizing atmosp
…Rowland's pov…The mating ceremony was a grand and joyous occasion, and no detail was spared in its preparations. The venue, an open-air arena nestled within the heart of the pack's territory, was transformed into a breathtaking sight. Colorful flowers adorned every corner, their fragrances mingling with the crisp, fresh air. Twinkling fairy lights were strung across the arches and pillars, creating an enchanting ambiance as the sun began to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the entire setting.Rows of seats, carved from logs and decorated with soft cushions, lined the edges of the arena. The pack members arrived, wearing an array of vibrant and colorful clothes, each outfit a testament to their individuality and the unity they shared as a pack. Laughter and chatter filled the air, the excitement and anticipation palpable as they gathered to witness the union of their Alpha and Luna.As the Alpha of the pack, Rowland took it upon himself to oversee the arrangements, ensuring that
As I sat down at my desk, my heart fluttered with excitement. Today was the day I would begin planning the most important event of my life: my marriage ceremony with Alpha Rowland. I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of joy and nervousness, and started organizing my thoughts.I pulled out my notebook and pen, ready to dive into the preparations. "Okay, Freya," I said to myself, "first things first, we need to choose the perfect date and venue for our special day."I picked up my phone and dialed Alpha's number. After a few rings, he answered. "Hey, Freya, what's up?" he greeted me warmly."Hey, Alpha," I replied, my voice filled with anticipation. "I have something important to discuss with you. Are you free right now?""Of course, Freya. What's on your mind?" he asked, curiosity evident in his voice."I think it's time we start planning our marriage ceremony," I said, a smile forming on my face. "I've been thinking about the date and the venue. What are your thoughts?"Alpha chuckled
…Freya's pov… The Luna ceremony was a sight to behold, a celebration of love and unity that resonated throughout our pack. The grand hall was adorned with delicate silver and gold decorations, shimmering in the soft glow of countless candles. The air buzzed with excitement as our pack members and neighboring Alphas gathered to witness this significant milestone in our journey. Dressed in a flowing gown of midnight blue, its fabric adorned with intricate silver embroidery, I felt a surge of anticipation and happiness welling up within me. My heart fluttered in my chest as I stood by Alpha Rowland's side, his presence radiating strength and devotion. Rowland, tall and commanding, wore an impeccable black suit that accentuated his chiseled features and broad shoulders. His eyes sparkled with a mixture of pride and adoration as he clasped my hand in his, our fingers entwined, creating an unbreakable bond. The guests approached us one by one, extending their congratulations and offering
…Freya's pov…I could feel the surge of power within me as I raised my hands, channeling the dark magic that coursed through my veins. In the blink of an eye, Selena's triumphant smirk disappeared, replaced by a look of sheer terror. Rowland's eyes widened in disbelief as the events unfolded before him.Selena, who had been mid-air, came crashing down to the floor, her body paralyzed by the force of my magic. The air was heavy with the sound of her screams, desperate pleas for mercy. But I was past the point of forgiveness.A sinister smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I took deliberate steps towards Selena. Each movement was filled with purpose, fueled by the years of pain and torment she had inflicted upon me. This was the moment I had been waiting for, the opportunity to make her feel the anguish that had consumed my soul.Selena's eye
…Freya 's pov…I tossed and turned in my bed, unable to find solace in sleep. The room was shrouded in darkness, only the dim moonlight casting eerie shadows on the walls. The air felt heavy, as if laden with an unspoken menace that sent shivers down my spine. Anxiety gripped my heart, and I knew something was amiss.As I closed my eyes, my mind was consumed by a torrent of nightmares, each more horrifying than the last. I found myself trapped in a labyrinth of twisted corridors, where the walls whispered secrets and the floor seemed to shift beneath my feet. I stumbled through the darkness, a sense of impending danger haunting my every step.Shapes distorted and twisted, morphing into grotesque creatures that lurked in the shadows. Their glowing eyes bore into my soul, filling me with an unyielding dread. I tried to scream, but my voice was stolen by the suffocating darkness tha
