Lucian's POVAs we sat by the fire, I couldn't help but feel content in Calla's presence. She looked so peaceful, and I was glad to be able to provide her with some comfort. Suddenly, I suggested that we take a little walk inside the fortress, hoping to show her more of my home.At least to alleviate the mood.I led her through the winding halls of the fortress, explaining its history and importance to our pack. Finally, I took her up to the highest part of the tower, where the view was truly breathtaking. The mountains were covered in snow and ice, glistening in the sunlight. Calla was in awe, and I felt a sense of pride in being able to show her such beauty.After spending some time enjoying the view, I walked Calla back to her room. As soon as I left her, the anger from before crept back into my mind. Alpha Roland had caused so much trouble, and I couldn't let it go unpunished.I followed Alpha Roland's scent, easily tracking him down to his room. I could smell the fear on him as I
Calla's POVI woke up to the sound of a knock on my door. It took me a few seconds to register where I was and what was happening. As I got up from bed and walked towards the door, I could feel a sense of unease settling in the pit of my stomach. Who could be knocking at my door at this time of night?When I opened the door, I saw Alpha Roland standing there, looking depressed and confused. His eyes were alert, and he seemed to be in a hurry. I could tell that something was wrong, but I didn't know what."Alpha Roland, what's wrong?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.He looked at me, his expression pained. "I need your help, Calla," he said, his voice hasty. "I need you to talk to Lucian for me."I could tell that he was desperate, but I wasn't sure I understood the situation. "Calm down, Alpha Roland," I said, trying to reassure him. "Let's go to the balcony and talk. You can tell me what happened."We walked out to the balcony, and I could feel the cool night air on my skin. Alp
Lucian's POVAs I sat in my office, surrounded by stacks of reports and documents, my mind was consumed with the ongoing war against our enemies. I picked up a report on the progress around the fortress, and my eyes scanned the page, taking in every detail.According to the report, our troops had been making steady progress in fortifying the walls of the fortress. The construction of new watchtowers was almost complete, and the archers stationed on the walls were receiving additional training to improve their accuracy.I noted that our scouts had reported increased enemy activity along the western border, and I knew that we needed to prepare for an attack. I made a mental note to allocate additional resources to the western watchtowers and increase the number of troops stationed in that area.As I read further, my attention was drawn to a section of the report that detailed an attempted infiltration by the enemy into the fortress. It seemed that they had attempted to sneak in under th
Calla's POVAs Lucian asked me why I chose to plead and intercede for Alpha Roland after what he did, I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes, knowing I needed to explain my reasoning clearly."Lucian, I understand that Alpha Roland made a mistake by lying about you and causing trouble within the pack. But I also believe that people make mistakes, even leaders. And I think it's important to give second chances when they are deserved."Lucian looked at me with surprise, his eyebrows raised in astonishment. He leaned back in his seat, his eyes studying me carefully."I see," he said slowly. "And do you believe that Alpha Roland deserves a second chance?"I nodded firmly. "I do. He's been a loyal member of the pack for years, and he's proven himself in battle. I think he could be a valuable ally in the future, and I don't think we should give up on him just yet."Lucian seemed to consider my words carefully, his expression thoughtful. After a moment, he leaned forward again, his ey
Calla's POVAs the acting alpha, it was important for me to meet with the elders of the pack. They were the pillars of our pack, and I needed to hear their voices and opinions on how to move the pack forward. I had invited them all to the meeting room, and I sat at the head of the table, ready to hear what they had to say.The first to speak was Alpha Roland. He reported that the patrols around the fortress had increased, and they had not found any signs of danger. The pack was safe for now. He suggested that we should focus on training the young ones, especially those who would be taking up leadership positions and other posts in the future. This would ensure that the pack would continue to thrive.Next, an Elder gave her report. She had been working with the healers to ensure that they had enough medical supplies. They had also been training new healers to take over when the old ones retired. She suggested that we should also focus on building a clinic within the fortress especially
Calla's POVAs I descended into the dark, damp dungeon, I could feel the stench and musty air engulfing me. The ground was damp and slippery, and the walls were cold and wet to the touch. It was a terrible place, and I could see why the apprehended wolves looked so miserable.The wolves were shackled and guarded by two of our strongest pack members. As I approached them, the wolves sneered and growled at me, but I remained calm and composed. I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the stench, and stepped closer to the wolves."Who sent you to attack us?" I asked sternly.The wolves laughed mockingly. "Why should we tell you, little girl?" one of them said, his voice dripping with disdain.I could feel my temper rising, but I refused to let them see it. "I am the acting Alpha, and you will show me the respect I deserve," I said firmly.The wolves continued to sneer at me, and I knew I had to take a different approach. I decided to focus on one of them, a bigger and more intimidating one
Calla's POVAfter days of pouring over reports and investigating leads, I decided I needed a break from the office work. I needed to take a day off to rejuvenate and re-energize myself. I wanted to do something that would allow me to relax and unwind, and what better way than to indulge in some much-needed self-care?I decided to do it myself without the help of the maids.I started my day off with a long, cold shower. The icy water sent shivers down my spine, but it also helped to invigorate my senses. I took my time, enjoying the sensation of the water against my skin, and the refreshing feeling that washed over me.Once I was done, I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and headed to my bedroom. I had decided to create my own little spa experience, so I had gathered some of my favorite products and laid them out on my dresser. I dimmed the lights and lit some candles, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.I started by massaging a gentle exfoliator onto my skin, rubbing it in circular
Lucian's POVI was in a temporary military camp deep in the forest with my men, and we were discussing Axel, Calla's ex-mate. My men had been gathering information, and they were now giving me a report."Alpha, we've got some new intel on Axel," one of my men began. "He's not bluffing about wanting to get Calla back. We intercepted some of his messages, and he's been quite persistent."I frowned, wondering what Axel's game was. "What kind of messages?" I asked."He's been trying to find her directly either through bribery or torture of innocents." One of my men chimed in. "He's also been asking around about her, trying to find out where she is.""He's probably planning something," a third man said. "We need to act fast before he makes his move."I nodded, my mind racing. Axel was a loose cannon, and I knew he wouldn't hesitate to hurt anyone who stood in his way. I had to keep Calla safe."What else did you find out?" I asked."We found out that he's been gathering a large pack or sho
