Chapter: 29*********"It felt indescribable as if the past eighteen years never happened. At that moment, all the pain evaporated, and all I desired was to protect him, to love and embrace him. When I saw him struggling, leaning on his walking cane, I felt a profound weakness from within. I wanted to confront whatever had caused him such harm..." Seth trailed off, recollecting how Dirk had stumbled back, leaning on his cane, attempting to retreat from his presence."... Even as he fled, my heart felt nothing but love for him. My Lycgers awakened and they desired him. They yearned for him so intensely that I had to suppress the urge to transform and chase after him," Seth confessed honestly. "I saw it in his eyes—fear, guilt, and an undeniable desire burning deep within. I heard his Lion's roar, and he was not rejecting his Lycgers. Instead, he longed for them. Not only did my Lycgers respond to his Lion's call, but so did the Lycgers of my brothers, despite the distance that separate
Chapter: 30******On a cold, stormy night, the wind whipped in from the North Sea, sending sheets of rain through the air. The moon shone brilliantly over the little island where the Lycgers had sought refuge three days ago. The sea churned with dark, menacing waves. Inside the vast living room, the men paced restlessly, their shirtless bodies drenched in sweat despite the frigid temperature. The pain they felt had become unbearable, and with each passing day, it seemed to worsen.Tricc let out a low growl and abruptly shifted into his Tiger form, his body restless and searing hot. His red eyes revealed the presence of his Lycan, leaving his brothers Seth and Kurt on edge. Sensing his intent to escape the torment that plagued them all, Seth and Kurt sprang into action. Kurt, assuming his Tiger form, positioned himself at the door, effectively blocking Tricc's path."NO!" Kurt firmly snarled, Locking eyes with his brother.With a deep growl, the room trembled as Tricc prepared to char
Chapter: 31********The Lycgers paced anxiously within the sealed room, their thoughts consumed by the overwhelming desire to find and claim their mate. Every fiber of their being yearned to be by his side, offering solace during his Heat and safeguarding him from anyone who might exploit his vulnerable state.However, Doctor Creiff, with his extensive experience and wisdom, understood the perils that lay ahead. He recognized that the Lycgers could lose control in their current state, endangering themselves and their mate. With a grave expression, he addressed the brothers."I understand your urgency, but I cannot allow you to pursue him like a pack of wild animals, driven solely by your carnal desires," he admonished, causing all three of them to halt abruptly, their gazes filled with menace. "Listen to me closely, for I have more to say," Creiff continued, only to be interrupted as they advanced menacingly towards him."Lower your defenses!" they growled in warning, closing in on t
Chapter: 32********Bogo burst into Naam's office unannounced, his face contorted with concern and anger. "Nancy!" He called her by name, causing the weary doctor to look up from her computer screen. Her glasses seemed to be slipping down her nose. "It's now the fourth day that the Boss has been in a deep sleep, and I'm growing increasingly worried. Not only myself, but the entire family is starting to express concern. Moreover, his enemies are questioning his competence as the Don." Bogo's voice dropped to a low whisper, audible only to Naam. However, she was already on her feet, silently making her way towards the door. She nodded to the guards positioned on either side, who stepped aside to grant her passage."Look, I'm worried too, Bogo, and I must admit, Dirk's case is the only one that has kept me on the edge of my seat for this long. He appears to be well, but for some reason, he won't wake up... I can hardly call his present state a coma, as he seems to be sound asleep. Regre
Chapter: 33********Dirk closed his eyes, realizing the man's name— the one who had violated him in the bathroom and now held his secrets. His mind raced, contemplating his next move. One thing was certain: Malta must not be allowed to live. However, Dirk couldn't kill him himself. Confronting Malta again would be dangerous and foolish. So, he needed to entrust someone else with the task. But who could he rely on with these secrets? Bogo seemed capable, but he already knew too much, and Dirk hesitated to expose him to further danger, at least for now."Doctor Naam?" Dirk called, causing Naam to stand straighter and face him. "How can I control my pheromones?" he inquired."You can't. I've observed you for the past four days. It's beyond your control. I suggest taking a leave during your Heat cycle to remain hidden until it passes. It lasts only four days. Keep track of the dates to avoid forgetting. Also, quit using the cigarettes. Continued use will disrupt your cycle, leading to in
Chapter: 34********Malta loomed over Dirk, a sinister smile curling on his lips as he gazed down at the weakened man on the floor. Dirk's breath came in ragged gasps, his body trembling from the overwhelming assault of pheromones deliberately unleashed upon him. Amidst his defiance, a flicker of vulnerability shone in Dirk's eyes, revealing the toll the situation had taken on him."You thought you could hide, didn't you, weak Omega?" Malta sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "But you cannot escape your nature. The pull of your desires, your need for a dominant Alpha like me, is irresistible. I will torment you until you're crawling to find me, begging for my touch. I will make your life become a living hell."As Malta continued his taunts, his threats hung heavy in the air. The overpowering scent of domination mixed with Dirk's own pheromones, rendering him powerless to resist. Dirk found himself immobile, disoriented and lost in the midst of it all. The Alpha standing above h
Chapter: 35********As Dirk entered the office, his body weakened and ravaged, he was greeted by the blinding brightness of the projector screen. Despite the pain that coursed through him, he steeled himself, determined to fulfill his duties as Don. With every step he took, his body trembled, but his spirit burned with resoluteness.Taking his seat in the executive chair, Dirk's presence commanded the room and the twenty-four faces that appeared on the screen. Each member, isolated in their respective homes, could feel the intensity emanating from their Don, even through digital barriers.Dirk's voice, though strained, carried a weight that left no room for doubt. "Gentlemen and ladies, we gather here today to address the growing unrest within our Family. I am aware of the rumors that circulate, and the attempts to undermine my authority. But let me be clear: I am not blind to your actions... neither are my ears closed to the bells of betrayal that chime in the air."Silence hung in
Chapter: 36*******The wait ended, and upon their return to Crystal Lake Pack, one of their brother's packlands, Tricc promptly ordered the table to be set with their favorite meals. As the servants scurried off to prepare the feast, the triplets chose their rooms and indulged in a well-deserved shower, as if they hadn't enjoyed one in the past five days. Refreshed and dressed in clean clothes, the brothers descended the stairs, each pausing on the final step of the split staircase. Sporting matching smiles, they made their way toward the dining room where their preferred dishes were already laid out.Tricc claimed his seat at the head of the table, Seth settled in the middle, and Kurt took his place at the opposite end. Two Omegas gracefully served the meal, pouring drinks and cutting fruits, and then the brothers eagerly began to savor their food.While relishing the comforting flavors, Tricc took a moment to reflect on the recent challenges he faced as the pack's leader. He had ti

Dirk cradled his son in his arms, sprinting back to the Pack, the distant howls of his mates fading into the background. His mind was ablaze with fury, his son's body hanging limply as if he had transformed into mere paper within his grasp. Doubts gnawed at him — had he erred by casting Talon into the sea? Could this impulsive act have dire consequences for his son's well-being? If Altair was truly the Spirit Wolf responsible for marking Talon, did this mean that hurling Talon into the unforgiving depths would irrevocably impact the life of his only child? As he laid the boy on the bed, Caleb and Phoenix swiftly attended to him. While running, Dirk had summoned them, relieved to find them awaiting his arrival upon reaching the Pack. It wasn't Dirk's call that initially alerted them to the crisis, but rather little Bryn's confession to Phoenix. "I untied the strings on Talon's bedroom door," the tearful girl murmured, her distress evident. "I'm so sorry!" Her plea tugged at Phoen
TALON **** Nine. At the age of nine, I ran out of the blood that sustained me. For a year, I struggled silently, unwilling to reveal how deeply it affected me. I tried to maintain a semblance of normalcy without it, but my efforts only led to restlessness, unconsciousness, and sleepless nights. The cold crept in, the bed felt foreign. Who could I confide in? Who would listen to the plea of a vampire boy thrust into a family where he never belonged? The memory of that fateful day still haunts me. How could I have mercilessly attacked Dirk? I couldn't explain the overwhelming impulse that drove me. The desire to connect with what he possessed consumed me. Did that make me insane? Powerless? A maniac, perhaps. I endured the consequences, tormenting myself night after night. I yearned to reverse time, but it was an irreversible deed. I had to bear the burden for the rest of my days. I had committed a shameful act, sowing seeds of hatred in the hearts of those who professed to love
Altair sat at his favorite spot by the little pond, feeding the fishes gathered around his feet. They nipped on the bread, tickling him and eliciting laughter. He cherished these tiny companions, finding solace in their company when his parents were absent after his school days. While he longed for his parents, he understood the demands of their work. His eighth birthday was approaching, and he anticipated it eagerly. Turning eight meant training with the older children, a prospect that excited him. He yearned to build his strength to confront the boys who often taunted him. Running out of bread, he gazed at his swimming friends with a smile. "You've finished it all. Now, I must attend to my homework!" he exclaimed to the fishes, rising from his seated position by the pond. After brushing off his pants, he hurried through the garden towards the manor as the evening descended, mindful of completing his tasks before dinner. "Altair!" Bryn's voice called out as she spotted him a
Chapter: 94 ******* "What's wrong?" they asked, their faces etched with concern. "I-I... ahh!" He cried out in pain. "Does it hurt?" Tricc inquired, placing a hand on his stomach. Dirk nodded frantically, the pain intensifying. "Okay, we need to go," Tricc declared, swiftly lifting Dirk as if he weighed nothing and hastening to the car, with Seth and Kurt keeping pace beside them. The journey back to the Pack's hospital was frantic, each of Dirk's cries piercing their hearts. The sudden onset of pain and distress, with the baby not expected for another three days and a necessary operation looming, left the Lycgers bewildered. Upon reaching the hospital, Tricc once more cradled their nearly unconscious mate, rushing into the lobby as Seth and Kurt urgently called for Dr. Creiff. Responding to the urgency in their voices, Dr. Creiff quickly appeared, assessing Dirk's condition with a touch to his forehead and recoiling at the heat emanating from the Lion. "What's ha
Chapter: 93 ******** "Where are we going?" Dirk inquired, repeating the question for the fourth time that evening. They had been en route for nearly an hour. It was a Saturday, and he was reluctant to leave the comfort of his bed. Each movement felt like a heavy burden on his legs. Anticipation for the arrival of the baby was high; he longed for a moment of respite. Thoughts of Talon had consumed him since his birthday morning. Although he hadn't laid eyes on the boy since updates on his well-being were frequent. Talon seemed to be adjusting to the daily spoonful of blood. However, as Dirk entered his final month, the looming question emerged: would he still be able to provide a refill once the last bottle ran dry? Nonetheless, arrangements had been made with his mates. They had prepared additional bottles, preserved by Tircc's spells. The issue now lay in the duration these bottles would last before a permanent solution could be found. The precious little angel didn't deserve
Chapter: 92 ******* The Lycgers swiftly assisted their mate to his feet and guided him towards a plush sofa, ensuring he sat comfortably as Tricc tended to the wound inflicted by the boy. "Shall I contact Creiff?" Seth inquired, receiving a confirming nod from Kurt. "We must ascertain the well-being of the child," Tricc added. "How did you get this?!" Phoenix's voice pierced the room, drawing all present gazes towards the boy, now resting limply in Caleb's grasp, while Phoenix scrutinized the mark on his arm. "Talon, can you hear me?" he questioned, but the boy seemed detached from his surroundings. The Lycgers approached to witness the scene, their gasps echoing as they beheld the glowing crimson mark encircling Talon's left forearm, extending to his elbow—the root of it all was a perfectly imprinted mark. "The mark of the Spirit wolf," Tricc whispered, prompting puzzled glances from his brothers, who momentarily forgot his extraordinary abilities. "But how?" Tricc
Chapter: 91******The room was shrugged in darkness, the only light coming from the dim fire that crackled from the furnaces, creating a cozy heat that settled around the body of the young child on the bed. A soft breeze swept through the room and the scent of fresh flowers wafted through the air. The sounds of distant laughter, chirping birds, and the gentle clinking of bottles from outside his opened windows were all heard by Talon. He was no baby, and no matter how much they tried to keep it away, he knew his mother had died. Someone had killed her, and stolen the only family he had left in this world. While his mother had shared tales of his Uncle Dirk, he had never felt close to this unknown relative until he was brought to this household two months ago. Although the pack house is filled with warmth, and a family bond grows amongst all who live within the Estate still, Talon feels lost and unwanted in this place. Despite the kind efforts of those around him to make him feel at
Chapter: 90*******"Andrew who?" Dirk questioned, seeking clarification. Seth took a deep breath and gently held Dirk's hand, speaking softly. "Andrew and I were in a relationship for a while. We met in unusual circumstances and developed feelings for each other. I made it clear that I was mated, even though I hadn't found you yet. Andrew promised to leave once we found you, but he struggled to let go because he had fallen deeply for me..." Dirk's expression darkened as he listened, his gaze locked on Seth's. "I don't want to hear about your exes. It's been a painful experience dealing with them in the past. Please, just tell me how he found Talon and brought him back to us," Dirk requested, trying to hold back tears as his emotions threatened to overwhelm him. Seth felt a pang of regret in his chest and nodded understandingly. "I'm sorry. For everything," he apologized, his voice heavy with remorse. Tears streamed down Dirk's face, his lips trembling. "Damn," he muttered, feelin
