Meeting Augustus LAURA's POV “You! Stop right there, or we will shoot,” as they pointed their revolvers at me the pack guard shouted at me, and I scoffed closing my eyes as I ran trying to locate the voice of the rogues.“Brother, I hear some shouting. Are we in danger?” “Don't be worried. They won't come here, might be someone else this is an everyday thing here.”Haha. He is right. Dont worry now I will give you more time to worry. This could be an everyday thing here, but today it is to get you guys and expose your dirty deeds. Smirking at the voices ,I looked blinded, before dodging the dagger that they shut at me come on, seriously? Is this how they really stop an offender? I thought before shaking my head at their tactics.“You know, you could ‘ve just gone inside and informed them about the rogues whereabouts, crystal said and I scoffed.“Didn't you hear the rogue? They have been doing this work for three months now. Do you really think that the council members are so incap
Title: The Vision of Shantel LakeLAURA's POV I had the vision again. It came to me like a flash, sharp and vivid, pulling me into the cold night air surrounding Shantel Lake. The image of rogue wolves, their eyes gleaming with malice, was so clear it felt as though I was already there. They were preparing for an attack, their numbers too great for any ordinary patrol to handle. I saw blood, destruction, and the desperate fight for survival. I knew I had to stop it, but I couldn’t let anyone know how I knew.The vision faded, leaving me with a pounding heart and a sense of urgency. I needed to act fast, but how could I explain this to Henry? He was sharp, always able to read between the lines. If I wasn’t careful, he’d figure out that this wasn’t just a gut feeling or some insider knowledge. He’d know it was something else, something more… supernatural.I found Henry in the council room, discussing strategies with Uncle Louis. Their voices were low, serious, as they pored over maps and
Chapter Title: A Test of WillLAURA's POV The air was thick with tension as we prepared to move out. The decision had been made—King Augustus would be joining us on the mission to Shantel Lake. It wasn’t exactly the plan I had envisioned, but I wasn’t surprised. King Augustus was not one to sit idly by, especially when his authority was being questioned.Uncle Louis approached me just as the final preparations were being made. His face was stern, but there was a glint of something else in his eyes—perhaps concern, or maybe curiosity about what was about to unfold.“Lawi,” he began, “I’ve added twenty more men from King Augustus’s team to yours. Will twenty be enough?”I glanced at the men gathered behind him, all seasoned warriors, their expressions a mixture of readiness and unease. “Yes,” I replied confidently, “twenty will do.”Uncle Louis gave a nod, satisfied with my response, and moved away to address the rest of the team. As we began our journey toward Shantel Lake, I could hear t
Chapter Title: The Wolf WithinLauras PovThe forest echoed with the rhythmic pounding of paws against the earth as my men began transforming into their wolf forms. The transformation was seamless, the power and strength of the wolves manifesting in their muscular forms as they charged ahead, their senses heightened, ready for the battle that lay ahead.But I remained in my human form, my steps silent and swift as I ran alongside them. It didn’t take long for the men to notice, their sharp eyes glancing back at me with confusion. Finally, one of them slowed his pace, turning his head toward me as he asked, “miss lawi, why haven’t you transformed? We could cover more ground faster if you did.”I kept my pace steady, my voice calm as I replied, “I can run a long distance in my human form. Besides, I’m not in a hurry to change just yet.”The men exchanged glances, uncertain but unwilling to question me further. As they returned their focus to the path ahead, I sighed inwardly, knowing I’d d
Trusting InstinctsLAURA's POV As we approached the edge of Shantel Lake, the forest looked dark and dense around us, every sound amplified by the tension that hung in the air. The leaves rustled with the whisper of a coming storm, but there was no wind, only the weight of what was to come. The team moved in cautious silence, but the unease was palpable.I could feel their eyes on me, waiting, questioning. They were seasoned warriors, men and women who had seen countless battles, but tonight, their steps were hesitant, as if they were uncertain whether they were walking into a trap or towards their victory.A sudden movement caught my attention. One of the team members, a young man with nervous eyes, kept glancing at Augustus, his mouth opening and closing as though he was trying to muster the courage to speak. Augustus, who had been walking slightly ahead, noticed and stopped abruptly, turning to face the man.“Speak up,” Augustus commanded, his voice sharp but steady.The young man hes
The gang upAugustus Pov “You know this have never happened before. I have never changed my decision s based on intuition and without a proper evidence, but since you are so adamant about the fact that they in the north, I am choosing to trust you and follow you. Let's hope you are not strong wrong,” I said to lawi, who glanced at me before nodding her head.Don't worry. I won't let you down. I trust my instincts and they are never wrong,” she said confidently, and I looked Henry,who was still holding her hand“ It's ok Lawi you don't have to work as hard. You are not obligued to complete this mission successfully. I know why you are doing this, believe me, the entire golden packs supports you, “Henry said snatching her attention from me, and I growled inwardly.“This Henry. It looks like he is going to become a thorn in the side between me and law, why does he not let us speak in comfort and peace? It looks like getting him out of the picture is going to be the one of the major iss
Chapter Title: The Rogue's SecretLAURA's POV The night was still, eerily quiet as the shadows of the trees stretched long over the forest floor. The soft rustle of leaves and distant calls of the night creatures were the only sounds that reached us. We had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, hidden amongst the thick underbrush near Shantel Lake. Every breath was measured, every movement calculated, as we waited for the rogues to finally make their move.I could feel the tension in the air, the anxiety and anticipation running through the team. Henry was positioned to my left, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade, while Uncle Louis stood a little further back, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of the rogues. Augustus was a few paces behind me, his presence heavy, though he said nothing.Then, like a ripple in the still waters, they appeared.The rogues moved silently through the trees, but I had been expecting them. Their dark forms blended with the shadows, their st
Chapter Title: Trust and DaggersLAURA's POV I stood there, eyeing the rogues, my patience running out like sand in an hourglass. The moonlight filtering through the trees cast an eerie glow over everything, making the situation feel even more tense. The rogue leader’s eyes bore into mine, but there was no fear in them—only defiance.“I’m giving you one last chance,” I said, my voice steady, though the threat in it was clear. “Tell me where Ryker is.”The leader smirked, an arrogant curl at the corner of his lips. “You can threaten us all you want, but we’re not talking. Ryker’s our leader. We don’t betray our own.”Silence followed, thick and heavy, as if the whole forest was holding its breath. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Augustus watching, arms crossed, a slight nod signaling to me that he was ready if things went south. And we both knew it was going to.I gave the signal.Everything happened at once—the team lunged forward, and so did the rogues. The forest erupted into chaos,
