The Darkfall Pack
The Darkfall Pack was the most powerful pack in the northern region. No other pack had ever survived a confrontation with them, thanks to their formidable Alpha Henry. As a cold and domineering Alpha, only those who wished for death dared to cross his path. He trained his warriors rigorously, treating every training session as a real battle. He reminded his warriors not to have any false hopes in any war. He also gave she-wolves equal opportunities for training. Although physically, she-wolves might not be as strong as males, they possessed unparalleled judgment and focus that males lacked. With enough desire, they could defeat male wolves of the same rank.
His bold approach had made his pack increasingly formidable.
At the moment, the training grounds resounded with the huffing and puffing of punches, like the thundering of thousands of horses. The warriors' feet were soaked with sweat.
Beta Ethan stood alongside Alpha Henry, both satisfied with the training results. But suddenly, Ethan's brows furrowed as he realized that his Alpha still did not have a Luna. He knew he had to convince Alpha Henry to attend the Alpha meeting in three days.
But then his phone rang.
Upon seeing the name on the screen, Ethan's spine stiffened, and his fingers trembled so much that he almost dropped the phone.
It was Eleanor Lim, Luna of Blackstorm pack.
He had never thought he would receive a call from her. He had expressed his admiration for Eleanor, but she had firmly stood by Alpha Thomas' side. He had to watch her from afar. There were reasons why he had fallen in love with her. She was confident and powerful, daring to voice her progressive ideas about managing the pack even in a setting dominated by male Alphas. Once, during a chase against rogues, he had crossed into her pack's territory.
Yes, they were neighboring packs, and he had narrowly escaped being killed by the rogues. It was Eleanor who had saved him. He wanted to thank her, but she claimed that she had everything she desired and didn't need any gifts from him.
She was the Luna, and he was just a Beta. He was sure that there would never be a story between them, so he had forced himself to forget about her existence. But when he saw Eleanor's name on his phone, he couldn't contain his excitement.
Rising from his seat, he moved away a little before receiving her call. "Hello,Luna Eleanor."
He did his best to keep his voice level and not to sound too excited.
"Hello Ethan, how are you?"
The sound of her voice was like honey to his ears. Did she know how beautiful it was? He could listen to her talk about anything for hours.
"I'm good, thanks. How are you? I heard about your wedding. Congratulations are in order." Even though it meant he had no chance with her, he was happy for her.
"Uh, thank you," Eleanor said. She didn't sound enthusiastic, but before he could think further about it, she added, "I was wondering if you could arrange a meeting for me with your Alpha during the upcoming Alpha party."
Ethan's eyes moved to Henry, who was also watching the warriors in training. He stifled his disappointment and spoke calmly, "You want to meet my Alpha? "
"Please. I'm assuming he'll be at the meeting, right?"
"Yeah," he replied. "Hold on a second, I'll ask him about it."
Ethan walked back to the seat and held the phone toward Henry. "Alpha, there's a Luna who wishes to meet you at this year's Alpha party."
Henry looked down at the phone. "I'm not interested in meeting any she-wolf," he told Ethan. He pressed the button to end the call. "I've already found my true love."
"Alpha! She's not just anyone. She's the Luna of the Blackstorm pack who once saved me, okay?!" Ethan looked helplessly at the phone after it had been hung up.
"You should have said so sooner! Then I wouldn't have mistaken her for another she-wolf you wanted to shove at me!" Alpha Henry was used to she-wolves from various packs throwing themselves at him in hopes that he would mate them. He was the most powerful Alpha, but he did not have a Luna. As far as they were concerned, he was up for grabs.
Until last night, he had enjoyed having his dick in multiple she-wolves' vaginas, but now, things had changed. When he was patrolling the borders of his pack yesterday afternoon, a strong scent of a potential mate pierced his nostrils, and his wolf instinct immediately took over, driving him to chase after it.
He forgot about the pack's borderlines and entered the Blackstorm pack's territory. He saw a beautiful female lying naked on the grass, and both he and his wolf let out heavy groans.
"Mate..." But as he tried to approach the she-wolf, she fled immediately. At the same time, he heard Ethan's mindlinking message, warning him that he had crossed the boundary.
He had to immediately return to his pack and notify Ethan to investigate all information about the red-haired she-wolf.
"So, should I call her back now?" Alpha Henry asked casually.
Ethan fell silent. How was he going to explain to Eleanor? Tell her that his Alpha had hung up on her because he mistook her for a prostitute trying to seduce him?
Ethan shook his head and immediately sent a text message to Eleanor, telling her that Henry was busy at the moment.
"Okay, any progress on the red-haired she-wolf's information?" Henry's voice snapped Ethan's fantasy of Eleanor.
Red haired? Eleanor also had fiery red hair. Could she be the she-wolf Alpha Henry was looking for? But it didn't make sense. Eleanor was already marked, and her scent could not be detected by any werewolf.
He dismissed the absurd thought and apologized, "I've not found her yet. Perhaps you should attend this year's Alpha meeting since it's being held in the Blackstorm pack."
In the past, Henry had always refused to attend.
"Alright, I'll do that," Alpha Henry nodded, convinced that his mate was indeed in the Blackstorm pack. He had to attend.
Eleanor looked at her phone in frustration. Alpha Henry had hung up on her!It pissed her off, but she wasn't surprised. After all, his reputation as cold and without compassion was not just hearsay.Her shoulders slumped. Without Alpha Henry's support, her chances of victory would be halved! She was about to dial Ethan's number again, but then she saw the text message from him."Alpha Henry will attend the Alpha meeting. I'll arrange for you to meet. Beta Ethan."Eleanor's eyes brightened. She needed to think carefully about what she would do to convince Alpha Henry to support her once they met. But before that, she needed to prepare a perfect outfit. Who could resist the tears of a sexy woman?As she dialed Sophia's number, Sophia's shed sad tears. She knew Eleanor was a strong woman who was accustomed to protecting others, which made her hesitant to call Eleanor. Sophia couldn't resist cursing Thomas again. "That heartless brute, he's destined to hit a brick wall."Eleanor smiled an
Eleanor was in her room preparing to go to bed when the door opened without a knock. Thomas walked into the room, his expression showing that he was about to start a fight.Eleanor stood from her seat at the vanity and faced him. "What do you want?"He had not shown up in their bedroom since that day he announced he would be taking Mia to the party."What's wrong with you?" he asked, giving her a disgusted look. "Why can't you just leave Mia alone? Why do you insist on causing trouble for her?"Eleanor crossed her arms over her chest and paced. So it was about what happened at the store. Of course, the rogue had gone crying to her mate and now he was here to scold her."What do you mean? What have I done?"Thomas moved to stand in her way. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Mia ran into you at the store today, and you humiliated her in front of everybody."Eleanor arched an eyebrow. "I gave her the dress I'd chosen for myself because she liked it so much. How does t
Ethan looked around, searching for his Alpha's position. He was on the other side of the room, conversing with two other Alphas. His eyes, however, were directed at Eleanor.Ethan's brow dipped slightly as a troubling thought crossed his mind. Henry was looking for a red-haired she-wolf he had come across in Blackstorm's territory.He didn't often ask about she-wolves. Could it be that he had recognised her? Was Eleanor the she-wolf his Alpha had been searching for all along?"She is the Luna from Blackstorm pack who called wanting to see you," Ethan told him honestly.Luna from Blackstorm pack? Alpha Henry felt like he had been struck by lightning. The mate he had been waiting for had been marked by another Alpha! But how could he smell her scent?The moment she had walked into the room, he had recognised her as the red-haired she-wolf he had come across in Blackstorm's territory. But he had assumed she was just a high-ranking she-wolf from Blackstorm, as her partner wasn't Alpha Thom
"Calm down!" Henry had to silence Kai and he forcibly severed the link between them. He needed to understand the reason behind Eleanor's actions."Tell me, why? From what I've heard, you love your husband, Alpha Thomas." As Henry spoke the word 'love', his heart ached uncontrollably. He couldn't accept the fact that his mate had chosen another Alpha, instead of waiting for him."Yes, I love him. But I have to break our mark because my husband, Alpha Thomas, has found his mate." Eleanor answered in a sad voice.Upon hearing Eleanor admit that she loved Alpha Thomas, Henry felt as if his heart had been punched hard. He couldn't contain his anger and said, "Is this your reason for wanting to replace him as the Alpha of Blackstorm? You should have seen this coming. Werewolves always choose their destined mate unconditionally. You have no reason to hate him or even be so malicious as to usurp his pack."Eleanor fell silent. She knew, but she thought that her bond with Thomas would overcome
"What are you doing?" eleanor started at his eyes calmly, suppressing the panic inside. Only one step left, she had to win his support.He looked down at her, his dark eyes penetrating her green ones. It was enough to leave her breathless. Looking into his eyes at such proximity, she forgot for a moment what was going on around her.The noises from the party downstairs faded as all her senses became attuned to the powerful male holding her. She sucked in a breath, taking a deep inhale of his scent.Something nagged at the corner of her brain. There was something familiar about his scent. As if she had encountered it before. But she had never met him before, so how?He leaned down, his face getting closer and closer. Her heart thundered in her chest. What was he doing?She broke their gaze. She was hoping to break the trance he had put her in, but then her eyes landed on his lips.Instead of distracting her enough to break the spell he had on her, they made her even more flustered. Soft
Mia povI never expected to encounter Alpha Walter from the south at the Alpha meeting of the northern packs. I can never forget the worst treatment I received from him. Fortunately, I escaped and almost wiped out his pack. No one knew of my ability to become anyone's mate. I mean, I can disguise my scent. When I collapsed in the Blackstorm Pack, I didn't expect I would meet Alpha Thomas. Alphas often despise Omegas, so I quickly disguised my scent to his mate's. Unexpectedly, he insisted on taking me back to his pack and intended to claim me.I watched his Luna, Eleanor, unable to accept it, and my heart swelled with an indescribable sense of joy. My body had suffered greatly in the Shallowend Pack, so I needed to rest properly in Blackstorm. Once I gained complete control over Thomas, it would be the perfect time to destroy Blackstorm.But an unexpected turn came. I thought I would officially belong to the Blackstorm Pack from today onward, but damned Walter ruined it all. But I was
A while later, Eleanor returned to the house and went to her room. She had hoped going on a little walk would make her feel better, but she was still upset.How much longer was she going to take such treatment from Thomas? She wished she was in the position to divorce him right away. His behaviour towards her was only going to get worse, and she couldn’t bear it.She hadn’t forgotten why she was here, why Selene had offered her a new chance at life. She knew what Thomas was capable of, and she wasn’t here to save their love.But she couldn’t stop her heart from breaking when the man she had loved turned violent against her. She was mad at herself for feeling hurt.It should no longer matter what he said or did. He didn’t love her. She knew that. But her stupid heart was still vulnerable to him. That’s the only reason his earlier outburst hurt her.It would take time to stop getting affected by the memories of their good times, but one thing was sure–she was never looking back.Once sh
“I wonder what this is about,” Sophia commented, walking onto the back porch with an envelope in hand.It was early evening and the two friends were hanging out at the back of the house. The doorbell had rang a few moments ago and Sophia had offered to see who it was.“Why do you have a letter from the university?” Sophia asked, handing Eleanor the envelope and taking a seat. “Do you want to go back to school or something?” she teased.Eleanor looked at the emblem on the envelope. It was indeed a letter from the werewolf university.Tearing the paper, she found a thick card inside. After reading the message, she looked at her best friend. She could barely contain her smile as she said, “They want me to deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony.”Sophia’s eyes widened as she reached for the card. “Are you serious?” Her surprise turned to elation as she read it too. “Wow. This is amazing, Eleanor. I can’t believe this. When was the last time they invited a Luna to make a speech at the
Eleanor woke up in the morning after the coronation ceremony to the sensation of Henry’s fingers stroking down her arm. Electricity skittered across her skin from the simple contact, waking her completely.“Are you awake?” Henry asked, as if he could tell without even looking at her face, which was buried in his shoulder.“Yes,” she mumbled.He hooked his fingers under her chin and lifted her face. He smiled at her softly before kissing her on the lips. It was a soft kiss at first, but before long, it intensified into their tongues tangling together and her hand rising to sink into his hair.His hand on the other hand went lower, slipping between her legs and seeking her warm centre. She moved her legs apart, granting him easy entry. His fingers teased her nub, rubbing her until she was panting against his mouth and humping into his hand.“Please,” she pleaded, wanting to feel him inside.He pulled his hand away and before she knew it she was lying on her back and he was positioning h
was the culmination of Henry’s efforts in the past few months, which had seen him rise to the position of the Alpha King of the South.While Blackstorm started rebuilding and putting things back in order, Henry had gotten busy strengthening Darkfall’s territory.The alliance with Jonathan had left most of the rogue packs around Darkfall weak. They had sacrificed most of their warriors and funds in plotting against Darkfall and Blackstorm and helping Jonathan wage his war.They had been promised territories and titles, but with the hybrid’s defeat, all they had gotten were losses. This made it easier for Henry to conquer and absorb them without extending a lot of effort. He also took over Alpha Elroy’s pack, making it part of Darkfall.In the months that followed, he had not faced any serious threat, and Darkfall thrived and became the most powerful pack in the southern region. Soon, all the packs in the region selected him as the Alpha King of the South, asserting his dominance and Da
The next day, members from the two packs–Eleanor’s and Thomas’s–gathered in the square, awaiting Mia’s trial. Word about her involvement with the hybrid attackers had spread, and everybody was looking forward to her sentence.Her execution would close a chapter everybody wanted to forget and move on from. After that, it would be time to rebuild the pack, as one, to what it was before all the chaos.Mia was tied to a post, with wood arranged beneath her feet. She struggled against the rope around her hands and feet as she cried out, claiming innocence. “She is only doing this because of jealousy!” she screamed so that the people gathered could hear her. “She killed Alpha Thomas because he chose me instead of her, and now she wants to kill me and his only heir.”“Witch!” someone in the crowd yelled and pelted a stone at her. “Shut your filthy lying mouth!”“There were many witnesses present when you killed Alpha Thomas,” one of the warriors who were with Thomas that day said, “and even
It was then that it occurred to Eleanor that she had not heard from Miller since she came back. She had been communicating with Sophia all along. If something bad had happened to him, Sophia would have told her, right?“Hey, have you seen Miller?” she decided to ask Henry. He had been at the pack before the attacks so she thought he might have an idea about her Gamma’s whereabouts. “I haven’t heard from him or seen him anywhere.”Henry sighed, his chest shifting beneath her. “Did you ever find it funny how he agreed to become your Gamma?”Eleanor frowned and shook her head. “What? Why? No, I…he had promised to support me no matter what, and he wanted the best for the pack. He knew Sophia would be my Beta all along and was okay with the position he got.”“So you think he was just being selfless, giving up his position as the Beta of Blackstorm to be your Gamma?” Henry asked her.Well, there was that, but there was also the fact that Miller had confessed to having feelings for her.Even
Henry deepened the kiss, his lips moving against hers with strong strokes. Their bodies, pressed against each other with nothing in between, lit on fire as a burning passion passed between and through them.Eleanor pushed him back into a tree, trapping him there while her hands roamed his muscular body. “Will anyone miss you if I lock you up in a room with me for the next one year?” she asked when they pulled back to catch their breaths.“They’ll just have to do without me,” he replied as she pressed her lips to his face. She trailed kisses from his temple and down to his lips, where she only teased him before moving on down to his jaw. He tipped his head back into the tree as she continued on to his throat.He groaned in pleasure when she wrapped her lips around his Adam’s apple and sucked. While she tormented him with her lips, he ran his hands down her back until they reached her ass.He squeezed her cheeks and pressed her forward, letting her feel his hot erection against her bell
Elroy cracked his neck as he smiled arrogantly. “Once you lose, your territory will become mine.”Good luck, Eleanor thought, wishing he would shut up already. Her wolf growled and hit her paw on the ground, letting him know that he was wasting time blabbering. He seemed to get the message because he shifted back to his wolf form and faced her.Henry got out of the way and the two rushed at each other, growling. They met mid-air and crashed into one another before falling to the ground. Elroy’s wolf lunged for her throat but Harper was quick on her feet and got away.She went straight for his hind leg and snapped it between her fangs. Elroy’s wolf howled and violently pulled himself away, the scent of his blood filling the air.Eleanor wished she could taunt him then, ask him whether he was sure he wanted to go ahead with this. Taunting him like that would make him see red and attack out of spite without caution. It would be a quick way to end this battle.She settled for regarding hi
Nessa fell to her knees beside her brother, tears streaming from her eyes. “Thomas! Thomas!” she called, holding onto his arm and shaking him. “Don’t do this. Don’t leave me!”A sombre mood engulfed the warriors who had accompanied Thomas and they watched helplessly as his sister cried over his body. It was such a sudden death, and none of them could have imagined that it would be the end for him.They had left Blackstorm determined to aid their former fellow pack members and fix the strained relationship between the two packs. Nobody could have foreseen such a tragedy.Eleanor wrapped an arm around Nessa’s shoulders and pulled her into a hug. The girl turned to her and accepted her embrace, crying into her shoulder.Eleanor wished she had been able to notice Mia earlier and stop her from hurting anyone. Nessa’s pain awakened the despair from losing Liam.She wished that the thought of bringing Mia to justice could do anything to erase the pain she had caused. It would not bring back
Thomas’s warriors rushed towards him where he lay on the ground unable to move. Eleanor looked up from his body and to Mia, who had shot the arrow.Mia’s eyes were filled with rage as she faced Eleanor. There were about a dozen werewolf warriors baying for her blood, but she did not even seem to be bothered.After being sprung from the interrogation room, it had taken her a while to find her way to the east gate without discovery. Before she could make it there, the building she had taken cover in had blown up. She was lucky to get out alive!She was running on fumes from the anger she felt towards Jonathan. How dare he set off the bombs without first ensuring she was out of harm’s way? She was the one who had introduced the idea to him.She had delivered Henry to him on a silver platter, but he had botched that up to. How could everything go so wrong after everything she had done?She could not believe that he had allowed Eleanor to escape. Was this the she-wolf he regarded far above
By the time Henry got to Eleanor’s pack, there were buildings up in flames.“What happened?” he asked Sophia when she came to meet him.“There was an explosion,” she told him, and then continued to give him a rundown of the situation. “Fortunately, we were able to evacuate most of the pack members successfully.” Worry took over her features. “However, there are a few Omegas trapped in the kitchen and basement. We are working on getting them out. Some of my warriors are holding off the attackers away from the compound.”“Where is Miller?” Henry asked.“He is keeping an eye on Mia,” she replied.“Coordinate the rescue for the Omegas trapped in the basement and I’ll go check,” he said. “That woman led me and my warriors into a trap, I don’t trust her.”He was already suspecting that she had a hand in the explosions. Jonathan had not had a chance to send a signal before he killed him–at least not one Henry was aware of. So if the explosions had gone off, it had to be one of Jonathan’s spi
