The grand hall of the pack house was filled with the murmur of voices as the elders and key members of Rylan’s pack gathered.

They sat around the long oak table, their expressions a mix of curiosity and formality.

The air was charged, as it always was when Rylan called for an urgent meeting.

At the head of the table, Alpha Rylan stood tall, his commanding presence silencing the room as he raised a hand.

His gaze swept over the gathered wolves, noting their expectant stares.

He hadn’t disclosed the purpose of this meeting yet, and the suspense was palpable.

“I appreciate you all coming on such short notice,” he began, his deep voice cutting through the tension. “There’s something important I need to share with you, a decision that affects not just me, but the future of this pack.”

The murmurs began again, faint whispers of speculation.

Rylan waited patiently for silence before continuing.

His tone was firm but calm, carrying the weight of authority.

    The grand council chamber in the city bustled with tension as Alphas from across the werewolf territories assembled for the final round of discussions before the Alpha King election.The room was an architectural marvel, with high arches and intricate carvings depicting the legacy of the werewolf nation.Dominating the space was a circular table, symbolizing equality among the packs, though everyone knew hierarchy often overshadowed symbolism.Rylan entered the chamber with a steady stride, his emerald eyes sharp as they scanned the room.He could feel the weight of judgment before the meeting even began.Whispers had already spread about his announcement, the new Luna, her mysterious past, and most of all, her pregnancy.When the Alphas had settled, the eldest among them, a towering figure named Alpha Cedric, stood. His silver hair gleamed under the light, and his voice carried the authority of decades of leadership.“Alpha Rylan,” Cedric began, his tone neutral but firm, “we’ve hear

    The moon hung low in the sky as Rylan made his way back to the packhouse after the intense gathering of Alphas.His wolf itched beneath his skin, yearning to break free and run off the stress, but his thoughts were consumed by Aria.When he stepped through the packhouse doors, his eyes immediately sought her out.She was sitting by the fireplace in the main hall, a blanket draped over her shoulders and a book in her lap.Her soft features lit up with a faint smile when she saw him, though there was a flicker of worry in her gaze.“You’re back earlier than I expected,” she said, closing the book and standing to greet him.Rylan reached out, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “I couldn’t stay there a moment longer,” he admitted. “I needed to see you.”Aria tilted her head, studying his face.The weight of the day was evident in the tight lines around his mouth and the subtle tension in his shoulders.“What happened? Did they give you a hard time?”Rylan sighed, stepping clos

    Liam paced the length of the grand hall, his boots clicking against the polished stone floor.The Beta of the once mighty Alpha King Kane had always been a man of calm resolve, but now his patience was wearing thin.Kane’s decline was no longer just about grief, it was a slow erosion of the pack’s very foundation.“Where is he now?” Liam asked one of the guards stationed outside the Alpha’s chambers.“Still inside, Beta,” the guard replied. “He hasn’t come out all day.”Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair.It had been the same pattern for months.Kane locked away in his chambers, emerging only to wander aimlessly or disappear into the forest for days on end. Each time he returned, he was more hollow, more distant.The spark that had once made him an unyielding leader was extinguished, leaving only a shadow of the man he used to be.Liam decided to try once more.Knocking on the heavy wooden door of Kane’s chambers, he waited for a response.When none came, he pushed it open c

    The moonlight seeped through the cracks in the heavy drapes of Kane’s chambers, casting an eerie glow across the room.Exhaustion had finally claimed him after hours of wandering the packhouse in a hollow stupor.His body lay still, but his mind was restless, churning with fragmented memories of Layla.In his dream, he found himself standing in a vast, open field bathed in soft golden light.The air was warm and carried a faint floral scent, reminiscent of the lavender fields Layla used to love.As he turned, there she was, a vision of beauty and serenity.Layla stood a few feet away, her white dress flowing in the breeze, her eyes shining with a gentle glow.“Kane,” her voice was soft but clear, a balm to his aching soul.“Layla?” he whispered, his throat tightening.He moved toward her, his steps tentative as if she might vanish at any moment.She smiled, a mixture of sadness and peace in her expression. “You have to stop this, my love. Stop drowning yourself in sorrow. You’re not a

    After what felt like hours of chaos and emotions running high, Kane finally took a deep, shuddering breath.His hands fell to his sides as exhaustion began to take over.The mess around him was a reflection of the storm within, but he realized now that he couldn’t live like this anymore, not for himself, and not for his pack.“Liam,” Kane said hoarsely, his voice barely above a whisper. “Get someone to clean this up. I.. I can’t stay here tonight.”Liam nodded, his expression soft with understanding. “Of course, Alpha. I’ll take care of it immediately.”Kane glanced around the room one last time, his gaze lingering on the shattered glass and overturned furniture.His jaw tightened, and he closed his eyes briefly as if steeling himself. “I’ll rest in one of the guest chambers,” he added, his tone carrying a note of finality.Amelia stepped forward, her voice hesitant but calm. “I’ll make sure everything is handled properly, Kane. You should rest.”Kane didn’t respond to her directly. I

    As the meal progressed, Kane found himself listening to the low hum of conversation around him.He felt the faint stirrings of connection to his pack. They weren’t just subjects to him, they were his responsibility, his family.He had neglected them in his grief, and now, sitting here among them, he realized just how much he had to make up for.When his plate was nearly empty, he set his fork down and glanced at Liam. “Call a meeting with the pack elders this afternoon,” he said, his voice firm.Liam’s eyebrows rose in surprise but quickly lowered as he nodded. “Of course, Alpha. I’ll arrange it immediately.”The pack elders, a group of respected wolves who had long served as advisors and keepers of the pack’s traditions, gathered in the council chamber later that afternoon.The room, with its high vaulted ceilings and a central circular table, bore an air of solemnity.Candles flickered along the walls, their light casting shadows over the faces of those seated.The murmurs of quiet

    The news of Alpha King Kane’s resurgence spread like wildfire, carried by travelers, merchants, and rogues who passed between territories.What started as quiet murmurs within his own pack soon became a topic of discussion in distant lands.“They say the Alpha King has returned to his duties,” one wolf muttered in a bustling market square, his voice low but eager.“Impossible,” replied another. “He was as good as dead. Everyone knows the elections are already underway.”“Perhaps, but I’ve heard from a reliable source that he’s called a council meeting. Kane isn’t one to back down so easily.”Similar conversations echoed in taverns and training grounds across packs.Wolves debated heatedly whether the Alpha King’s recovery would impact the ongoing elections.Would Kane reclaim his throne, or had his absence cemented his downfall?In the city where the candidates for Alpha King had gathered, the whispers reached their ears.One of the alphas, a sharp eyed wolf named Darius, leaned back

    Outside, a crowd had gathered, whispering anxiously among themselves.The pack healer and additional attendants moved in and out of the house, their faces calm but focused.“She’s so strong,” one omega murmured. “But this is her first pup. What if...”“She’ll be fine,” another interrupted firmly. “She has the Alpha by her side.”The whispers died down as everyone held their breath, waiting for news.Inside the house, the air was thick with tension and effort. Aria’s labor was long and grueling, each contraction testing her strength.Rylan refused to leave her side, holding her hand through every scream and soothing her with soft words when she felt like giving up.“You’re doing amazing,” he murmured, brushing damp strands of hair from her face.“I... I can’t…” Aria whimpered, tears streaming down her cheeks.“Yes, you can,” Rylan insisted, his voice firm but filled with emotion. “You’re the strongest person I know, Aria. You’ve got this.”Her resolve strengthened under his encourageme

    Ace’s excitement was contagious as he brandished his shiny stone, holding it up to the light.Aria knelt beside him, smiling at her son’s unrelenting energy.Kane stood nearby, watching the pair with an intensity he barely concealed.Each interaction between mother and son only deepened the ache within him, a feeling he couldn’t name, but one he couldn’t ignore.The atmosphere was interrupted when a second messenger arrived, hurrying to Kane with urgent news.“Alpha Rylan has been delayed,” the messenger explained to Kane. “The border dispute requires further negotiation. He asked me to inform Luna Aria that he might not return until late tomorrow.”Aria’s face shifted with concern, but before she could speak, Kane stepped forward. “It’s far too late for you and the boy to travel back tonight,” he said, his tone final. “You’ll stay here.”Aria hesitated, glancing down at Ace, who was happily tossing his “treasure” into the air and catching it. “That’s kind of you,” she said slowly. “B

    The atmosphere in the Alpha King’s Pack was electric as Rylan, Aria, and Ace arrived.Kane had been meticulously planning for their visit, ensuring everything seemed welcoming and perfectly orchestrated. Yet, beneath the surface, he harbored an ulterior motive, a way to spend time alone with Aria and Ace, free from Rylan’s ever watchful eyes.Rylan stepped out of the car first, helping Aria down while keeping a protective hand on her back.Ace bounced out after them, his small hands grabbing at his mother’s as he took in the grand surroundings.“Whoa,” Ace whispered, his wide eyes sweeping across the pack grounds. “Is this the castle?”Kane approached them, his steps deliberate and measured, his expression calm yet unreadable.He greeted them with the proper decorum expected of an Alpha King.“Alpha Rylan,” Kane said, extending his hand. “Welcome to my pack.”Rylan shook his hand firmly, a subtle tension simmering between the two men. “Alpha King,” he replied, his voice steady. “Thank

    It had been a few days since the children’s party at Alpha King Kane’s pack, but Ace hadn’t stopped talking about it.His bright eyes sparkled every time he recalled the games, the treats, and the grand stories about the “king” he’d encountered.His fascination with Kane seemed to grow stronger each day, much to Rylan’s annoyance.One morning, as Aria finished tidying up after breakfast, Ace came bounding into the room, his face alight with excitement.“Mama,” he chirped, tugging on her sleeve, “can we go see the king?”Aria blinked in surprise, setting down the cloth she’d been holding. “The king? You mean Alpha Kane?”“Yes!” Ace nodded vigorously, his messy curls bouncing. “He said he’s a king, but I didn’t see his castle last time. I wanna see it. Please, Mama?”Rylan, who had just entered the room, froze at the doorway. His jaw tightened as he absorbed his son’s words.“No,” he said firmly, his voice a low rumble. “You’re not going to see Alpha Kane.”Ace’s face fell, his bottom l

    The announcement of an all children’s party in the Alpha King’s pack sent ripples of excitement across the packs.Alpha King Kane, who had been reclusive and brooding for years, had unexpectedly decided to host an extravagant event to celebrate the little ones.Invitations were extended to neighboring packs, and it became the talk of the territories.Kane's intentions, however, were far from innocent.His sole purpose in hosting the party was to get Aria to bring Ace. He hoped that amidst the joyful chaos of children playing, he could find a moment to spend with her, to study her up close, and perhaps unravel the enigma that had haunted him since.The Alpha King’s packhouse and surrounding grounds were transformed into a vibrant, child friendly wonderland.Brightly colored banners and balloons adorned the trees, while rows of tables laden with treats stretched as far as the eye could see.There were games, pony rides, bouncy castles, and even a small theater for storytelling.Kane had

    The day after Rylan and Aria’s visit to Kane’s pack, whispers began to ripple through the packhouse and beyond.The uncanny resemblance between Rylan’s Luna, Aria, and the late Layla was the topic on everyone’s lips.In hushed voices, members of the pack speculated about the strange coincidence, while others suggested it might not be a coincidence at all.“I’m telling you,” one elder murmured to another in the courtyard, his voice low. “She looked just like Layla. Same eyes, same build. It’s eerie.”“Do you think it’s her?” a younger warrior asked skeptically. “That’s impossible. Layla’s gone. We buried her.”The elder shook his head, uncertainty clouding his features. “I don’t know. But the Alpha King didn’t seem himself when she was here.”“Did you see the way he kept looking at her?” another chimed in. “It’s like he saw a ghost.”The murmurs weren’t confined to the packhouse.In the marketplace and along the patrol routes, the resemblance between Aria and Layla became a constant un

    When Kane returned to his pack, he called for Liam immediately.“Dig deeper into Rylan’s Luna,” Kane commanded, his voice low but firm.Liam frowned. “We’ve already tried, Alpha. There’s nothing to...”“Try again,” Kane snapped. “I want to know everything about her. Where she came from, how they met, everything.”Liam nodded reluctantly, though the concern in his eyes was evident.As the door closed behind him, Kane sank into his chair, his wolf growling restlessly.“She’s alive,” Kane murmured to himself. “And I’m going to find out why she doesn’t remember me.”And perhaps, for the boy who had dared to prank an Alpha King..............Days after Kane’s visit to Rylan’s pack, the Alpha King sent a formal letter, delivered by Liam himself, to Rylan’s packhouse.The letter bore the royal crest and invited Rylan, Aria, and Ace to visit Kane’s pack for an official meeting of goodwill and reconciliation.Rylan read the letter carefully, his brows furrowing as he considered the implicatio

    The possibilities swirled in his mind, each more painful than the last.Had she been alive all this time, hiding from him deliberately?If so, why?Was it possible that Rylan, the smug Alpha who had challenged his throne, had rescued her and manipulated her memories?Or was it truly amnesia, a cruel twist of fate that had stolen their shared history from her mind?His thoughts shifted to the boy, Ace.The child had Layla’s vibrant spirit, but his features were harder to place.Kane couldn’t shake the feeling that Ace might be his, yet the timeline didn’t fit.Layla had been gone for nearly five years, and Ace was only four.And yet, the nagging possibility refused to be silenced.A knock at the door interrupted his spiraling thoughts. “Come in,” he barked, his voice sharp.Amelia stepped inside, her presence as uninvited as ever.She had been trying to claw her way back into his good graces, though Kane kept her at arm’s length.“You’ve been restless since you returned from the city,”

    The sun was high as Aria stepped out of the car, holding Ace’s small hand.The bustling city streets were alive with activity, the perfect backdrop for their shopping trip.Ace, now four years old, was as mischievous as ever, and Aria had her hands full trying to keep him from running off at every opportunity.“We’re here to get you new clothes, remember?” she said, crouching down to his level.Ace wrinkled his nose. “Clothes are boring. Can we get ice cream too?”Aria smiled, ruffling his golden curls. “If you behave.”“I always behave,” Ace replied with an innocent grin that didn’t fool her in the slightest.As they strolled through the city, Ace’s eyes darted from one stall to another, filled with endless possibilities for trouble.The crowds gave him the perfect cover to slip away while Aria was momentarily distracted by a display of children’s shoes.“Ace?” she called, glancing around.No answer.Her heart skipped a beat as she scanned the area, but Ace was already a few steps ah

    Years passed, but the stalemate between Alpha King Kane and Alpha Rylan persisted.The packs had settled into a tenuous peace, though tension lingered beneath the surface.Kane remained on the throne, his position unshaken by the halted election.Rylan, though unable to dethrone the Alpha King, had solidified his own pack’s strength, gaining loyalty and admiration from many.Despite their ongoing rivalry, neither had made a decisive move to change the status quo.In the midst of this uneasy calm, there was one bright, unpredictable force that no one could ignore, Ace, Rylan and Aria's three year old son.Mischievous, stubborn, and endlessly charming, Ace had become the heart of Rylan’s pack, bringing moments of joy and chaos to everyone around him.Ace was a whirlwind of energy, constantly on the move and always getting into some sort of trouble.Whether it was sneaking into the kitchens to steal sweets or hiding important documents from the elders, his antics were as exhausting as th
