Later that night, everyone was lying down close to each other, snuggled close for warmth. We would have to take shifts watching over each other for safety, and I had volunteered myself up for the very first one. I felt a pang of guilt I could not explain for bringing in three more mouths that we had to feed, and I wanted to work off the guilt somehow.

I suspected that Lee knew what was on my mind when I had volunteered myself, but he had said nothing very graciously, allowing me the time I needed to process what I had to.

I was more than pleased that Erin, Eric, and Remy had gotten to eat something. I wondered how long they had been in the bushes without anyone but little Eric to care for them.

I had never had an elder sibling, or anyone to look out for me and take care of me, so I knew firsthand how hard it was, and I wanted so badly to take care of them. That aside, I had quite a lot to think about, like where the strength I had used earlier had come from. I wish I could credit i

    Returning back to the pack, I made my way to where Lee had woken up from and laid my head on the pallet. Almost immediately, I fell asleep, only rousing a few times in the night when someone moved. It was nothing like the previous night in the hollow tree, but I was a lot of friends richer, and I had learned something about myself that I hadn’t known before.When I woke up in the morning, I could smell the sweet scent of oranges, and I woke up abruptly. Like I hadn’t pummeled him the night before, Lee casually held out an orange to me, and gratefully, I accepted it and got to my feet. Making use of the makeshift water collector they had made the night before, I splashed some water over my face and rinsed the orange before peeling the skin off and biting into it. Within seconds, I had finished it, and gratefully, I accepted the orange that Kimora offered to me. I was embarrassed, but I was far too hungry to care for too long, so I bit into that too. Looking up, I realized that everyone

    A few hours later, I believed that I had found the place I wanted all of us to settle in. We had had breakfast back at the clearing, some venison that Luke had done out to get, and it had been a hearty meal, with enough leftovers for us to drag along with us as we went on our way now. It had taken us some time too – I had almost asked to stop a few times but since the littles were walking on without any problems, I pushed myself to do what they were doing. I suspected it was because I was not used to this kind of work since my entire walking experience in the pack I was from was walking to the stream. Once at the spot, we had immediately made some new friends. We had been smelling the scent of nearby wolves for a few minutes, and everybody was on edge, until I had enoihhband fishef out the two wolves who had bee skanking behind us on our way to the clearing. “What do you want?” I'd asked, unblinking. I had sensed no threats from them, and everyone else in the pack seemed to be jus

    Snapping back to reality, I stepped aside and went to rest my back against a piece of bark so I could watch my pack members go at it. I wondered how I had made the transition on a few days. I already thought of them as my pack, even though I had made a resolution not too long ago not to belong to one. The irony was not lost on me. Just then, I got a vision of the pack having a lot more members, thinking of how fast word spread and how many more people were being thrown out of their packs every day. I felt a little bit giddy at the thought. Sure, it was a terrible thing to be thrown out of your pack and the family you thought you had, but look at me, the same thing had happened to me, and my chosen family was leagues better than the set I had been packed with initially. We made our way back to our settling grounds that night, and everyone set up camp, making plans for our futures. There were a lot of trees beside us, and with the river, we could construct huts. From nearby towns, we

    In a month of belonging to the pack and doing the things I had started to, my strength had started to develop even more, and the respect I got from the pack members was even greater than it had been before. I had worries about my mate and my former pack, and how they were faring, but whenever I needed a reminder, I would tell myself some of the things they had told me before. I was becoming someone else, free from them, and now I felt the need to talk about it with someone, which was why I went to find Lee. “Hey,” I said, smiling at him. He was seated in between quite a number of men and women at a corner of our land, just watching them talk, and I was trying to get him away from there.“Hey,” he smiled, taking my hand. “Do you want to sit down?” he asked, shifting over. With a smile, I shook my head no. “No, can you come with me please? Are you in the mood to talk?”“Sure,” he said, expression morphing into a frown. I considered assuring him it was nothing too serious when I turn

    Over the next few weeks, word spread to the other nearby packs, and my reputation as a warrior grew. There had been an increase in gifts from suitors, and I had reached a point where the influx of gifts were simply being gifted to other people. I had gotten sent some things that we needed from our neighboring pack, and at the same time gotten so many gifts that I did not know what to do with them. That aside, the number of suitors asking for my hand in marriage had doubled, if not quadrupled. They had been accosting me on my way to the river, at night, and even during shifts, approaching me with the promise of a future with them, yet, each time i declined their offers and propositions, fully aware that there was no one for me but my mate. He had rejected me, but holding out for him seemed to be in my best bet. I could not imagine a world where I ended up with someone else, and it made me feel selfish, hurting so many other people for the sake of someone who did not have any regard o

    The moon was full, and it was time for another shift. Normally, the shifts were led by an alpha or their mate, but I had quickly realized that their only option was me and sucked it up. Without the moon, I could not transform, but with most of them also being Omegas, no one held it against me, waiting patiently until I had begun before beginning themselves. I am a big person, I realized. I am important to the pack, big enough to make a difference, big enough to lead them all to shifts, and I could see myself even better, I get that would have been impossible in the darkness of my former pack. That night, the crickets were whistling, a silence taking over the pack, and making it more evident that something was going on. Worried, I called out for the original outcasts I had met; Luke, Lee, Kimora and David, needing to see them with immediacy. Something was off, and without them, I would not continue. Eric, Erin and Remy came over to me too, and I pulled them into a quick hug, wonde

    I was sure that many people died, but I had not been there to witness enough of them. It was funny; although none of it was my fault and I was not in control of it, I told myself that Luke was just temporarily away, and sometimes, I found myself looking out for him when the day started to come to an end, wanting to make sure that he was in the pack safe and sound. It was probably quite infuriating, and was probably driving everyone to their wits end, yet they remained gracious to me. Lee especially worked very hard to be kind to me, alongside Kimora. On occasion, I would overhear them talk about how terribly I was taking the news, and although I agreed with them, there was no way in hell I was going to admit it to any of them. “Do you guys think it's okay to talk about Luke as often as I do? Am I doing too much? Overshadowing you in my grief?” I heard myself ask once, worried about the pain that I was potentially causing them. I did not want them to be in any pain whatsoever, and I

    The weight of responsibility settled heavily on my shoulders as I knew it was time to address the pack and reveal the marker I had made for Luke. Since his passing, we had all been in mourning. But, I strongly believed this marker would be a symbol of remembrance and a tribute to our beloved elder.Gathering the pack around me, I took a deep breath to steady my emotions. Kimora, David, and Lee stood there with understanding and support in their eyes, ready to listen to whatever I had to say."Thank you all for coming," I began, my voice firm but tinged with vulnerability. "These past days have been tough for us, and I know we've all felt the void left by Luke's absence."Kimora nodded, and David placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. Lee remained stoic but attentive, a manner very unlike him.I continued, "I wanted to create something that would remind us of Luke's importance and the love he had for each of us. This marker represents the bond we shared and the legacy he left behind.

Amidst the jubilant pack members and the warriors from the Black Creek pack, Brad and I found a moment of quiet to discuss our future. Erin had joined the celebrations, her eyes reflecting the relief of a battle won and the joy of newfound family bonds. We walked together along the edge of the clearing, the sounds of laughter and celebration fading behind us. Brad looked at me, his eyes filled with a mix of love and determination. "Layla," he said, his voice soft yet steady, "we've been through so much together. I can't imagine my life without you. I want to spend the rest of my days by your side, facing whatever challenges come our way, just like we did today." I smiled, my heart swelling with affection for the man beside me. "Brad,

    Amidst the chaos of battle, Erin stood her ground, her eyes locked onto Rame with a mixture of anger and disgust. Brad and I, observing Erin's fierce resolve, exchanged a quick, worried glance. We knew Erin's history with Rame, how he had manipulated her in the past. We couldn't let her face him alone, but we also understood the need for Erin to confront her father. A lot of the battle had been for the pack, but a lot of it had been for Erin's sake too."Brad," I said, my voice low but urgent, "we can't just leave her alone with him. She needs our help, our support. We can't risk her getting manipulated again."I nodded, my eyes never leaving Erin. "I know, Brad. But we can't just rush in without a plan. We need to be strategic about this. If we charge in recklessly, we might inadvertently make things worse for her. We have to trust Erin, trust that she's strong enough to handle him."Brad clenched his fists, frustration evident in his eyes. "I trust Erin, but I don't trust him. He's

    The air in the pack meeting hall buzzed with excitement as I stood at the front, my eyes scanning the faces of the pack members. The news of the imminent threat from Rame had spread like wildfire, and now, the entire pack was gathered to discuss our plans for the upcoming battle. Among the crowd, there was a palpable sense of fear, mixed with a touch of anxiety. The arrival of reinforcements from the Black Creek pack was eagerly awaited, not just by my pack members, but by me too. I would never admit it to anyone else, but I was terrified of what was going on. As the pack settled, Brad stood by my side, his presence a source of strength. In the last few days, I had found that I needed it a lot more, because the horror of lur wntkre situationnovertook me at the most random times. I couldn't afford for that to happen right now. Right now, I needed to convey a sense of calm and confidence to inspire our pack members. I took a deep breath, my voice projecting across the room."Thank you

    The journey back to our pack was a quiet one. Brad and I walked side by side, lost in our thoughts. The encounter with Rame had shaken us to our cores. As we trudged through the dense forest, I couldn't help but glance at Brad, trying to decipher the storm of emotions that must be raging within him. Finally, unable to contain my curiosity, I broke the silence."Brad, how are you feeling?" I asked, my voice gentle. "Seeing Rame, the one who took your father away from you... it must have been incredibly difficult. I know you never speak about your father. In fact, no one in the pack does. They all act like he is some taboo topic, and hearing Rame just-”He sighed, his shoulders tense. "It's... complicated, Layla," he replied, his voice heavy with the weight of his emotions. "I never thought I'd see him again after that night. I had buried the memories deep inside, trying to move on. But now, facing him, it's like reopening an old wound. Anger, sadness, confusion... it's all mixed up ins

    "You can call me someone who's not afraid of delusional villains," I retorted, my voice firm, refusing to back down in the face of Rame's anger. "Your reign of darkness ends here, Rame. We won't let you destroy our pack."Rame's eyes blazed with fury, his lips curling into a snarl. "You think your bravado will save you? I've faced stronger opponents than you, and they all fell before my power. There are many things that I can do that your small brains cannot even begin to fathom. Do you really feed into the belief that your confidence will help you?"I exchanged a shared glance with Brad, our shared annoyance fueling our speech. "Rame, your power may be formidable, but it's nothing compared to the strength of all the love that there is in this pack. Erin may be an exception, but in this pack, we protect our own," Brad said, his voice steady. "Our pack stands together, and that makes us stronger than you can ever comprehend. Get it through your little head that you are not getting your

    "Layla," Brad's voice trembled with emotion as he continued, his eyes fixed on mine, "Rame was once one of the most respected wizards in our pack. His fall from grace was a tragedy that was caused by his own ambition. He was a friend to my father, a mentor even. But power corrupted him, turned him into a monster."I took a hold of Brad's hand, offering him silent support as he gathered the strength to continue. "Rame's desire for power took over him," he said, his jaw set in determination. "He killed my father, believing it would grant him the Alpha position. But our pack members, out of loyalty, stood against him. We banished him, hoping he'd never return."A chilling laughter echoed through the ruins, and Rame emerged from the shadows, his eyes glowing with malevolence. "Oh, what a touching tale," he sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. "But you see, I've embraced the darkness. I've become more powerful than you can imagine. Your loyalty and love won't save you this time."I ti

    The pack house welcomed us with its bright colors, and I felt a warmth inside that I hadn't felt before. Brad and I settled into our favorite spot in the living room, a comfortable couch where we often discussed pack matters and important decisions, long before he had lost his memory. In the distance, the fire in the fireplace burning bright. Seated close to each other, we held on to each other for long minutes at end, looking at each other like it was the first time we had seen each other in a long time. We were locked in lazy conversation and trying to figure out who could have done this in the first place, and we had tried out many different names, but one kept on coming back, over and over:Erin"I know she has a crush on me," Brad said, his brow furrowed in contemplation. "But could it be possible that her feelings took a dark turn? Maybe she couldn't handle the fact that I didn't reciprocate her feelings. Though, that would have been very counterintuitive."I nodded, understandi

    The memory came rushing back to me, vivid and clear, as though it had happened just yesterday. I closed my eyes, allowing the past to wash over me, taking me back to that fateful day in the heart of the forest.Many years ago, when I was still young and finding my way as a leader, I used to roam the woods surrounding our pack territory with the forest, with its ancient trees and whispered secrets, was a place where I found solace, and the place where I enjoyed training the most. On that particular day, the sun had gone down early.I was lost in thought, my mind occupied with the responsibilities of being an Alpha. As I walked, I heard laughter, the innocent, carefree sound of a. Hold coughing. Intrigued, I followed the sound until I stumbled upon a clearing. There, surrounded by wildflowers and bathed in moonlight, were three children.The eldest, a boy with tousled brown hair and curious eyes, looked to be around ten years old.
