Marcus’s POV

I stood by the window of my chamber, staring out at the thundering skies. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and released heavy rain droplets on the earth.

It was the middle of the Spring, a time usually marked by gentle breezes and blooming flowers, not fierce storms. I need to see my parents, they might have a hand or know the answer to it.

With a sigh, I turned away from the window and made my way to the throne room.

If my guess was correct, then they would be gathered there discussing their next course of action.

My parents, the king and queen, would never hesitate to conjure up rain just to gain great power and influence. So if anyone knew what was causing this unnatural weather, it would be them.

As I entered the throne room, I saw them seated together, deep in conversation and not in their usual conjuring positions.

Their expressions were serious, but not particularly troubled, which gave me pause. Could they be behind this storm?

    Lily’s POV This morning was beautiful and I had planned to get some flowers before coming back to prepare myself for when Lily would arrive. But labor had started already.We had thought it would begin towards afternoon or evening, but it came when we least expected it.“Oh babies, bear with Mother a little while longer,” I pleaded as I made my way back into the tunnel. “Aunt Clara would soon be here please,”The pain was unbearable, each contraction ripping through me like waves crashing against a rock. I lay on a makeshift bed in the small, hidden room of the tunnel, waiting desperately for Clara to arrive.I cried out as another wave of pain hit, clutching my swollen belly. "Clara, please hurry," I whispered, my voice barely more than a croak.The memory of my mother flashed before my eyes, her calm, steady hands helping other women bring their children into the world.As a child, I had watched in awe and fear, unable to understand the strength it took to endure such pain.I was a

    Lily’s POV The tunnel suddenly felt dark and damp, a place that was earlier just cozy and warm, now felt inhabitable. I lay on the bed with my eyes closed trying to reason things through. Fiona, also lay wrapped in a cloth beside me, her tiny cries resounding in the tunnel. Clara knelt beside me, her face pale but determined. "Lily," she said softly, her eyes full of concern. "What do you think we do? Should I give up on myself?" My heart pounded with anxiety. "I can't risk your life, Clara," I said, my voice trembling. "We can't risk it. We need to distract and take him away from the village." Clara nodded, her expression resolute. "What do you want me to do?" "Think of an animal," I instructed. "Any animal you can think of right now." Clara hesitated for a moment before responding. "A cat. I saw a white cat in the village earlier today." "Perfect," I said, closing my eyes and focusing on the image of the cat. I reached deep within myself, tapping into the hidden power

    Marcus’s POV As I approached Crimson Valley, the rain showers finally ceased, and the sun broke through the clouds. The sudden change in weather was unsettling, but I had no time to ponder its meaning. I had to find Lily and Clara. The valley had a strange, almost mystical atmosphere after the storm, the kind that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Determined, I began my search, walking briskly through the village. The houses were modest, many with thatched roofs and wooden walls that had withstood countless seasons. I barged through the doors, calling out for Lily and Clara, but each answer was the same: silence. I moved from house to house, frustration mounting with each fruitless search. Having searched the greater part of the village, their cabin was the only place left. If they weren’t here, I didn’t know where else to look. Just as I raised my hand to open the door, I heard a noise from behind the cabin. The rustling sound of leaves was very light bu

    Shawn's POV Sitting in the tent with Martins, I tried to wrap my brain around the truth of the source of the rain but no matter how I tried to run away from it, there existed just one truth. But if truly two pure bloodlines have mixed, then that would mean there has been mating between any member of the Twilight Ridge pack, the Blood Moon pack, and or the Silver shade pack. The Luna Crest are not fitted to be addressed as werewolves. Martins shifted, breaking the silence first. "Shawn, there's something I haven't told you," he began his voice low, almost a murmur. "I can teach you some dark magic spells that might help us find out who's behind all this." I looked at him, taken aback. "Dark magic? Are you serious? No way, Martins. That's not who I am," I said, shaking my head in disbelief. The idea of dabbling in dark magic went against everything I stood for. “We're not even sure of what is going on here and you're already trying to lure me in?” I added. His eyes pleaded w

    Marcus's POV Certain that the cat was perfectly asleep, I walked away with Winston trailing right behind me. The closer we walked into the garden towards Grayson's house, the faster my heart began to beat. They had to know where Lily was. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers, but it did little to calm the storm brewing inside me. As we arrived at Grayson's house, he was bent over two pots of lilies, his hands moving methodically as he worked the soil around the delicate plants. I put on my street face, the mask I wore when I needed answers, and we walked up to him. “Grayson,” I called out, my voice steady but carrying the weight of my intent. He looked up, a forced smile plastered on his face. “Master Marcus, Winston. What brings you here?” “We're looking for Clara,” I said, cutting to the chase. “Where is she?” Grayson’s smile faltered. “Clara? She hasn’t been here since yesterday.” I stepped closer, narrowing my eyes at him. “Cut the lies, Grayson

    Lily's POVThe sharp cries of Fiona and Raymond jerked me away from my thoughts, pulling me back to the present.The tunnel's echoes made their crying so impossible to ignore. I felt uneasy as I tried to calm them. I gently rocked them in my arms, but their tears kept flowing with their tiny faces scrunched up in distress."Shh, it's okay, little ones," I murmured, my voice trembling. "Mama's here."Despite my soothing words, their cries continued. I turned to look at Clara for some form of help, but she giggled and continued with what she was doing.I took a deep breath and began to sing a lullaby. I remember when Shawn was still a baby, Mother's singing always drew me to his crib."Sleep now my child,And peace be with you, All through the night. Guardian angels are always with you, All through the night..."As I sang, I positioned Fiona at my breast, and she began to nurse, her cries subsiding. I shifted Raymond to my other breast, and he too quieted, their little mouths work

    Lily's POVThe first light of dawn lifted the darkness that hung over the tunnel, accompanied by the crow of a cock showing the dawn of a new day.My babies stirred in their sleep and woke up crying. Their wailing pierced through the early morning silence, drawing me from the brink of falling back asleep. Unlike me, Clara woke with a start, her eyes wide and alert."Morning already," I murmured, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.Clara nodded as she stood up from the layers of clothes she had laid to sleep on. I had tried to convince her to join me on the bed, but she insisted on lying on the floor.My attention immediately shifted to Fiona and Raymond. Their cries were growing louder, and I knew they needed my attention. I lifted Fiona into my arms, cradling her gently as I tried to soothe her."It's okay, my baby," I whispered, brushing a kiss on her forehead. "Mama's here."Clara reached for Raymond, her touch gentle and practiced. "Let's get them cleaned up and fed," she suggested,

    Shawn’s POV All my life, I had never come across something as mystical as this. It was too real to be true. I walked slowly towards the journal and the closer I went, the brighter the light became. It felt as if the book was calling out to me, drawing me closer to it. As I neared the book, I heard Martin's voice behind me. "Shawn, don't go any closer! We don't know what that thing is!" I turned slightly, glancing back at him. "I can't help it, Martins. There's something about it… I feel drawn to it." The pull was irresistible, a magnetic force that I couldn't ignore. Martins raised his hands to cover his eyes. "I don't want to see what happens next, don't say I did not warn you," he muttered as he moved farther away. Ignoring him, I continued forward until I stood directly in front of the journal. The light was blinding as it engulfed the entire room. I closed my eyes and stretched out my hands to reach the book. Just as my fingers grazed the leather-bound cover, the lig

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.

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

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

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.

    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

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

"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
