Sitting in our small cabin, I watched the flickering fire of our furnace burn brightly, the warmth of its glow casting dancing shadows across the walls of our humble home. Then I was reminded of the story I used to hear a lot growing up. The story of how I came to be. I sometimes do not want to believe how unfortunate I was. In the heart of Crimson Valley, Mother had ventured into the woods in search of healing herbs to create a potion for the travelers who sojourned in our valley. I could still picture the image those words painted; The verdant canopy overhead, the soft rustle of leaves beneath her feet, and the gentle hum of nature's song all around her. While Mother was happily humming to a song and picking what she needed for her potion, fate had other plans for her. You can say, fate had other plans for ME anyway. A sudden slip, a jagged branch hidden under the soil, and mother found herself lying injured on the forest floor. She was seven months due with me in her tummy. The pain and shock of her injury caused me to become uncomfortable with her and wanted out. Her pregnancy was induced and then came the moment when I graced this world with my presence before time. My untimely birth came with its consequences. I could not harness any of the abilities of a silver-shade wolf. I was of a true and pure bloodline, so I was blessed with an ethereal beauty, a porcelain skin contrasting with striking silver hair that cascaded down my back like a shimmering waterfall. My tiny form, so delicate and frail, was unable to harness even the healing gifts that flowed through our bloodline. A few years later, Shawn was born. More healthy and vibrant than I was. Shawn possessed the same striking features that defined our bloodline. His curly silver hair glowed in the sunlight, giving more form to his angular face and piercing blue eyes. Still seated by the burning furnace and lost in thoughts, I was suddenly interrupted by my father's voice calling my name. “Lily.” He said, his tone gentle yet firm, “Come on, it's time for your class.” Rising from my seat, I glanced over at Shawn, mischief dancing in his eyes as he trailed behind me. “Come on, Lily.” He teased, his voice playful. “Let's go cause some trouble.” “Tsk, tsk. We are going for a class dummy not to cause trouble.” I whispered back into his ears as we tailed behind our father.“Hurry fellas, you do not want to be late.” He chided. Soon we got to the potion chamber, where our family crafted potions and remedies to heal and protect. Once we started, Shawn was already brewing a bowl of healing palm, his hands moving with precision as he did his work with ease. “Wow, Shawn, you're amazing!” Sean exclaimed, admiration shining in his eyes. “I wish I could make potions like you.” Sean was about Shawn’s age mate. They were best friends and he was always fascinated by Shawn's work. I just wish I could work with ease too. But I had no powers. Shawn chuckled, his expression warm and encouraging. “You'll get there soon Sean.” He said, placing a reassuring hand on Sean's shoulder. “It just takes practice and patience,” I smirked at him. He knew Sean did not have special abilities like he did. Tired of watching Shawn, I turned and watched intently as our father demonstrated the delicate art of potion-making. His hands moved with a grace and skill born out of years of experience. “Now, kids.” He said, turning to us with a gentle smile, “Pay close attention. This potion requires precision and focus.” Paying attention to my father's instructions, I learned the procedures effectively. “I'll do my best, Father,” I replied, meeting his gaze with a firm resolve. "I won't let you down." After our potion class, we returned home to the comforting warmth of our cozy cabin. Shawn and I played till we arrived at home. On nearing our doorstep, the aroma of fresh venison wafted into our nostrils as we entered, and my mother's warm smile welcomed us. “Welcome kids.” Mother greeted after briefly hugging and giving Father a peck. “Hello, Mother.” Shawn and I greeted in unison but our feet were already close to the table. Seated around the fine wooden table, we gathered as a family to have dinner. Mother had prepared us a steaming pot of venison stew, accompanied by freshly baked bread and an array of garden-fresh vegetables. “I can feel myself salivating already,” Shawn said. His eyes lighted up with excitement as he eagerly reached for a bowl of stew. “Yes, indeed.” Father chimed in, his voice filled with anticipation. “I can't wait to dig in!” “Mother is the best cook in the whole world.” I squealed and we all laughed. My mother smiled with pride at our enthusiasm, her hands swiftly serving each of us a generous portion of the delicious meal. “I'm glad you like it, my darlings.” She said, her voice tinged with warmth. “Eat up, and don't hold back. There's plenty for everyone.” As we dug into our meal, the air was filled with the sound of our cutleries clashing with our plates and the sounds of hearty conversations flowing amongst us. After dinner, we dispersed into our rooms and got ourselves readied for bed. Settling into bed, I recalled the warmth of the evening meal still lingering in my belly. I smiled and closed my eyes as I looked forward to a good night's rest. But as my eyelids fluttered shut, a clear image materialized before me. An apparition of a dark wolf, its form looming large in the depths of my mind. His fur was a beautiful shade of black and he emitted a strong aura. Muscles rippled beneath his coat, and each of his movements was carefully taken with grace and poise. I watched in silent awe as he walked through the shadows, his eyes gleaming with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. Piercing black eyes that blended with the darkness, sharp and focused, locking onto mine. Then my hands, with thoughts of it's own reached out to touch the dark and majestic wolf. Drawn to his presence with a mixture of fear and fascination. But as my hand neared his furs, a haunting howl pierced the silence, echoing past my dreams into my consciousness. Startled, I awoke, my heart pounding in my chest and beads of sweat formed. The dream was still very clear in my thoughts. Needing some moment to collect myself, I decided to go downstairs for a cup of water, hoping to shake off the lingering unease that clung to me like a cloak.Shawn's POVThe grand hall of the beautiful mansion was bathed in the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows.I sat in a chair close to where Sean and Clara sat. Marcus was about to be crowned King of the Wolves.“If you need anything tell me okay,” Clara said as she checked where I was wounded."Hmm, thank you, Clara,” I replied.Thanks to Lucas, I got more preferential treatment from Clara.The hall was filled with members from the four packs. The Twilight Ridge werewolves, led by Marcus, and Luna Crest led by a little girl who I barely knew. The Silvershade pack is led by me and the Bloodmoon pack is led by Shadowvale.Finally, all the pain, struggles, and fighting have been put behind us. As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on Marcus, standing tall in front of the hall.Beside him stood Lily, his marked bride, her eyes bright with happiness. Their children stood with them, looking around with wide-eyed wonder.The ceremony began with the eldest seat, s
Marcus’s POVTime passed in a blur and we have been having a happy season and time together. Every morning was beautiful to behold and every night was as peaceful and pleasurable as I had imagined it.Finding Lily was like I finally found my missing rib.My official coronation was the next day and I had lots of preparations to make, as well as make a courtesy visit to the villages and each pack.“What are you thinking so much about, my love?"I rolled my eyes. “Don't ever say that again Winston else I'll cut off your tongue,"“What? I was only trying to bridge the gap since she's out with Clara," He replied.“You should do that as your chubby self, rather than mimic your queen," I replied, faking anger.“Fine, I'll shut the door after me and send word to have her come back,” He replied, also feigning vexation.“Silly man," I said and we both laughed.By noon, we were all complete for lunch. It was beautiful to have the mansion this lively.“Mother, Aunt Clara taught me how to create w
Lily's POVDamn! I have been such a fool.I ran without considering where I was going. The pain was just too much to bear. I had pushed Marcus away despite my growing attraction to him because I also blamed him for everyone's death.But he was the one only trying to clean up his father's mess. “Arrggh!" I yelled into the sky.I don't know how or why, but it started to rain. The rain started as a drizzle, but it quickly turned into a downpour. I stayed in the rain and cried.Each step I took splashed through the forming puddles, and the cold rain soaked me to the bone. I barely noticed.“Lily, wait!” Marcus’s voice called out behind me. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t face him, not after everything I’d done.The memories of our past and the hurt I must have caused him played in my mind. I kept walking, but Marcus caught up to me, grabbing my arm and spinning me around to face him.“Lily, please, talk to me,” he said, his voice filled with concern and desperation.I yanked my arm free, the a
Marcus’s POVI stared around the room and noticed Lord Darkwood's absence and instantly knew that Leila was a distraction from where the real harm was occurring.I turned to Shawn, our eyes meeting for a moment. “We have to find a way through,” I said, my voice low and urgent.He nodded, his expression determined. “I will use my powers, while you support me.”We turned back to the barrier, our combined strength hammering against it. The air crackled with energy, the barrier shimmering under our powers. But it held firm, refusing to yield.Leila watched us, her smile never faltering. “You can’t win, Marcus. This is my game now.”But I refused to accept that. I dug deep, summoning every ounce of strength and determination I had. I thought of Lily, of Raymond and Fiona. I couldn’t fail them.With a final, desperate effort, we pushed against the barrier. There was a blinding flash of light, and suddenly, the barrier shattered, sending us tumbling forward.I scrambled to my feet, my eyes l
Marcus’s POVMy journey back to Mistwood Creek felt longer than I expected it. As I arrived at the villages, the clamor of battle was deafening.I noticed the full moon's glow on my skin and despite it being dark, I could spot all my runes. My fangs were out and so were my claws.I felt energy surge through me and my senses heightened. The tangy smell of blood and dust filled the air and I could make out the faint smell of cedarwood and flowers.I took out the vial and gulped everything down in one go, before proceeding in the direction of the mansion.I was going to find Lily and my kids no matter what.Arriving at the first gate to the mansion, I noticed Shadowvale and his men transformed back to their human form and whatever was left of my knights hurried behind me.“I told you Marcus, I would be back," Shadowvale said with a cold sneer."And I think you should be on your way out right about now,” I replied coldly.Shadowvale laughed and his men joined him. "Do I look like Shawn to
Shawn's POVMartin and I finally made our way out of the village just as the sun was about to set. The sky was colored with hues of orange and purple, and I could see the moon beginning to emerge, just as I was feeling my wolf gradually taking over me.As we passed through some parts of the village, I noticed some doors hung off their hinges, and debris littered the ground. Villagers with fearful expressions hurried past us, whispering frantically among themselves.“What happened here?” Martin asked, his voice hushed as we took in the scene.“Shadowvale,” I muttered, my jaw clenched. “He must have been here.”Martin's eyes widened. “We need to move quickly, Shawn. He was not supposed to attack the villagers.”“It's the full moon’s effect," I replied blankly. “Let's hurry up to him nonetheless,"The further we went, the more signs of destruction we saw. It was clear that Shadowvale had left his mark, and the villagers had suffered for it.“Damn him,” I cursed under my breath, fury boil
Leila’s POVWalking out of the throne room, I made my way back to the townhouse with haste. Lucas had proven to be so much of a headache.He was supposed to be an easy nut to crack, but he proved himself to be smarter than I made him to be.I had gotten Lily back and left instructions with the dark sorcerers of Luna Crest to make sure that Lucas didn't see the light of day.As I approached the townhouse, I saw Maureen waiting for me at the entrance, her face was pale and lacked any form of the usual excitement."Sister," she called out, in a flat and emotionless voice. “We need to hurry,” She said with a tone of indifference.I knew that who would still be feeling offended about Smithson's death, but there was nothing I was going to do about it.“Why is that?" I asked as we made our way inside the house.“There have been some little disruptions in the lower parts of the village and it was only a matter of time before the full attack began,” She replied coldly.I knew what that implied
Lucas's POV Looking at Leila's retreating back left me writhing in anger at her audacity in turning back on her words. I should have known better anyway, once an evil witch, always a wicked witch. I looked away from Leila and her flowing black veil and rested my eyes on the helpless Lily being carried away by the men who were with Leila. "Make sure she is not conscious," Leila instructed them. "The kids?" One asked. "Leave them as they are. Lucas already did that," She replied and turned to face me. Her dark men who surrounded me seemed to be there to restrict me from doing anything reckless, rather than execute me from the plan. "What happened to your integrity, Leila Darkwood," I asked her angrily. "I don't have one, Lucas Hawthorne," She replied with a sinister smile. "I actually don't have all day to spend here chit-chatting with you, so I will go ahead with my question," She knows who the hell I am. I searched her as she spoke and gauged the strength of the men
Marcus’s POVI was still doubtful of her innocence in all this, but for Lily's sake and Grayson's sake, I would give her the benefit of the doubt."Start speaking," I demanded, my voice echoing off the walls.She looked up at me, a flicker of hope in her eyes. "How is my father?"Really?"Stop playing games with me," I snapped, taking a step closer. "You’ll meet your father if you tell me what I need to hear."Clara seemed to hesitate, her gaze dropping to the floor. After a long moment, she sighed and looked back up at me. "Shadowvale is planning an attack on Mistwood Creek."I felt a surge of anger and concern. "Fair enough," I said. “But that's not all I want to hear and you know it,"“I'm sorry King Marcus, but I don't know who that whirlwind belonged to," She shook her head and I could feel her genuine flow of emotions.“Is there anyone you suspect might be after them?" I asked.“Apart from you, that would be Lucas. He wants the kids, Raymond and Fiona, dead and…” She paused.The
