"Set me free!" Despite his predicament, Adolph demanded, his voice booming with power. Who sent you?" Speak!"For a terrifying time, just the flickering torchlight disturbed the stillness. The seconds passed interminably while Adolph waited for an answer, his heart thumping in his chest.And then a voice that was shockingly familiar came out of the darkness. I am that individual.Adolph stared at the speaker with wide-open eyes of shock. "You?" Adolph finally managed to speak, his voice surprised.Lady Isabella nodded, her look unrepentant. Yes it's me, Adolph. I did it."Lady Isabella, But why? Why would you act in this way?" Adolph questioned herLady Isabella drew nearer, a vengeful smile on her lips, a bitter tone in her voice. "Adolph, to take revenge. It's taken a while to get here. You have no clue how long I had looked forward to this time."As the pieces of the evil puzzle came together, Adolph's heart sank. His own aunt, Lady Isabella, has been planning an evil scheme for se
My heart jumped for joy as Adolph stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He had maintained consciousness, which was evidence of his tenacity. Despite the fact that my eyes were still clouded with worry, I gave him a faint grin.I softly said, "Good morning," to him.Adolph fixed his eyes on mine, showing me thanks and a trace of remorse. "Scarlett... You spent the entire night with me?I brushed a stray hair from his forehead with my fingertips as I nodded. "Louis wouldn't let me, but I wanted to. He advised me to get some rest, so as soon as I woke up this morning, I came here.By the bedside, Louis, who had been standing quietly, cleared his throat. He murmured softly, "I'll give you two some privacy."Adolph turned back to me as Louis exited the room and said, "Thank you, Scarlett."I could see the anguish inside Adolph as his eyes locked with mine.I owe you an apology, Scarlett," he said, his voice tinted with remorse. I ought to have disclosed my... condition to you.The mention of
After being expelled from the pack, Lady Isabella and her son Liam found themselves in a hopeless and unsafe circumstance. The weight of their deeds weighed heavily on them like a thick, suffocating cloak since they lacked supporters and a place to flee to.They trekked through the pitch-black woods as the moon hung low in the night sky, their footfall reverberating with the hollow sound of hopelessness. Liam's youthful vigor had diminished, Lady Isabella's once-proud posture had sagged, and the terrible truth of their situation had taken its place.Without having a specific target in mind, they continued to wander through the woods until they came to a cave, which was a craggy opening in the side of a hill. It wasn't a cozy or safe location, but for the time being, it is.As she spoke to Liam, Lady Isabella's voice carried a hint of resignation. "My dear, we'll stay here for a while. We can't go any farther without risking our safety. We'll find a new location to live when the time i
A few months later…The arrival of a healthy baby girl by Anna, Louis's cherished wife, brought about a time of joy and celebration amid the pack's daily routines and the ups and downs of life. With his eyes shining with love and pride as he held his newborn daughter in his arms, Louis had a heart overflowing with joy. As he awed at the small life he now had in his hands, he couldn't help but smile.Louis' happy voice boomed out in the nursery's dazzling lighting. "We now have a daughter!"Weary but beaming with the pride of motherhood, Anna looked lovingly at her husband, her eyes reflecting their mutual joy. "Louis, she's perfect."As Louis stared down at his daughter, tears of joy welled up in his eyes. It's true, Anna. She is a tiny miracle for us.After the initial joy subsided, Louis realized he needed to tell Adolph about the wonderful news. He went to the palace to look for Adolph, leaving Anna and their little daughter in the expert care of the pack's midwife.Adolph was stu
Nothing could have prepared us for the mystery disease that suddenly struck our neighborhood and spread like a hurricane, striking us with such force that we were completely unprepared.The pack members starting to feel unwell, their strength dwindling, and their vitality dwindling in isolated cases were the first signs of the illness. Our initial assumption was that it might be a temporary illness that would leave as quickly as it arrived. But as time went on, it became clear that we were up against an invisible foe who struck without warning and showed no compassion.I, along with the other pack clinic staff, observed the frightening rate at which the patient load was expanding. The once-healing and consoling pack clinic was now stuffed to the gills with distressed pack members. The sounds of coughing, feverish moans, and far-off cries of the hurt filled the clinic.As we devoted ourselves to helping those in need, every day seemed like an endless nightmare. The illness displayed n
The rate at which the pack members fell sick was alarming and it was evident that the workload for each doctor's assistant was unbearable. I thought about how I could offer a solution that would relieve everyone a bit so I decided that some maids which were not affected by the strange disease should be allowed to assist us in the clinic. I informed the pack's doctor about it before taking such a step. He agreed and was happy that I came up with that idea. The maids worked nonstop, their commitment constant, assuring that those in our care had all they required, as well as comfort and cleaning. The doctor of the pack, a beacon of knowledge and generosity, expressed his appreciation for our help. "Scarlett, your maids have been a tremendous help," he added, his voice full of gratitude. Without their assistance, we would not have survived.I agreed and nodded, feeling a surge of pride for my maids. They share our pack's dedication and compassion.But despite all the activity and const
Louis couldn't help but bring up the matter that had been bothering him as they entered the palace. Although he was aware that such a choice would be difficult to make, he also understood how crucial it would be for the pack's survival.Adolph, I recognise how challenging this is for you," Louis said hesitantly. I'm not sure if I could sacrifice Anna if someone asked me to. But we need to keep in mind that our entire pack's welfare is on the line."Adolph paused and rubbed his brow as he considered Louis's remarks. The decision weighed heavy on his shoulders, and he was aware that whichever course he chose would have far-reaching effects.Adolph responded, his voice heaving with emotion, "I know, Louis." However, I find it intolerable to consider forsaking Scarlett. She is absolutely everything to me, and I cannot fathom living without her.Louis gave a sympathetic nod as he nodded in agreement. "I understand, my friend. Anna's loss is unimaginable to me as well. But we must always ke
As Louis made his way to the pack's clinic, his heart was racing with urgency. His beloved wife Anna was seriously ill, and this worried and terrified him. Louis was unable to bear to watch the suffering of the lady he loved since the evil that had befallen their pack had now spread to their house.He hurried inside the pack's clinic after forcing open its thick doors and searching the space for a recognisable face. He located the pack doctor, who was responding to Anna's needs, among the medical staff and worried pack members.The doctor of the pack greeted him, "Louis," with a grave gaze. "Anna is suffering from the strange illness, and I'm doing everything I can for her,"Louis screamed in a desperate tone, "Please, do whatever you can to save her.Louis received a comforting hand on the shoulder from the pack's physician. Louis, I'll do my best. We won't give up on her since we're all in this together.Louis left the clinic with a heavy heart, realizing that there wasn't much more
