A faint knock on the door which sounded like a bomb blast in Lana's ringing ears woke her up. She struggled to lift her fatigued body. Straining to open her hurting eyes, the unfair brightness in the room made her squirm, closing them back. She felt a pinching sensation in her right arm. She was on something bouncy with silk sheets.“So, nice,” she murmured, snuggling further. Her kind had lost count of when last she had such a comfortable stretch. Her body was in pain, but she felt rejuvenated. Whatever was hooked to her arms was pumping strength into her system, and she liked the feeling it gave her.The knock came once more, this time, more aggressively. Grumbling, Lana forced her eyes open and shot her upper body upright. The door swung open at the same time, and Oscar and his wife sauntered in. Levi followed closely behind them. They all had relieved expressions on their faces.Lana observed her environment, noting that the interior decoration of the place was far better than tha
Tyler had trails of dried-up blood all over his body. His entire body was covered with cuts laced with silver and wolfsbane. He was in deep agony that he groaned so badly, twisting and turning at the discomfort. One thing gave him hope, even though he had completely lost his power out of the blue. The fact that he had briefly heard Lana and knew that she was sick and worried about him.He didn't need saving. Mostly, he hoped Lana was safe and would move on with her life if need be. She has been through a lot, which he put her through. Always used her as a shield for his pack and in the end, it still crumbled to the ground. Everything.Tyler was weak, profuse sweat dribbling down his face. He was hung upside down at the entrance of the Pure Crescent pack. Every four hours, he was moved to a different location, but still hung in the same position.Scarlet was displeased with this barbaric act from Annik and went ahead to confront him, but he brushed her off. She couldn't do more than wat
Lana took a moment to admire everything about the area she passed through. This couple was well put together. They knew how to decorate and that was sweet and comfy to get along with. Her eyes watched every book and cranny of the hallway, down to the staircase, and finally downstairs when she reached it.Dinner was over, but her meal was set up in a section of the cleared-up table. Two of her back members were already asleep on the couch. Levi was still up, his head buried in his palm. “What are you thinking about?” she startled him with her voice as she took an empty seat next to his.Faking a smile, “nothing. I just miss home. I miss my parents. I miss having peace. I wish we could go back to when everywhere was at peace.”“Soon,” she reassured, massaging his shoulder.His smile broadened. Levi stood and went to bring over Lana's dinner. “Mr. and Mrs. Lowell are the nicest people I have seen.”She simply nodded. “Where are the rest of the guys?”“Some of them volunteered to guard th
“Years ago, the Pure Crescent pack was gifted the Sapphire orb by the Moon Goddess. To guide these orbs, four Lanterns were positioned around them. How they are chosen is still a mystery to all. However, these four lanterns must work together to maintain peace. That's what makes the Pure Crescent pack the most powerful pack,” Mrs. Lowell began with her narration. “Through the years, everything was well until, one by one, the Lanterns began to get assassinated. Shortly, a mysterious fire broke out in the Pure Crescent pack, killing everyone except Annik. Naturally, he took over.”Lana, even though she has heard the story multiple times, always gets shocked whenever it is brought up. “How was this swept under the rug? It only goes around as rumors. Nobody openly tells these stories.”“Because Annik kills anyone who speaks of it. Most justify his action, saying that the story triggers him. We agree that it's a sad story that he doesn't want to often hear, but there's nothing that would m
.Alpha Annik paced back and forth in his chamber, his mind consumed by thoughts of his plan in place. Since he learned of Lana's survival, he has been waiting for this moment—the perfect opportunity to finally rid himself of her and Alpha Tyler, his longtime rival. He had spent countless hours planning and strategizing, and tonight was the night. He was going to take out Alpha Tyler once and for all.Outside, allies of Annik began trooping into the busy pack house. The moon had just risen to its peak. A Banquet had been arranged, with tables in circles. Chattering filled the air. Clinging of glasses, hailing of names, and slow music played in the background. As he prepared himself for whatever might occur, Alpha Annik's thoughts turned when the witches swirled into his room. It became windy and dark, the doors automatically shut themselves. Their hissing left chills on the skin of the guards they flew past.. Alpha Annik smirked at the thought of defeating both Tyler and Lana in one f
Lana stood to a banging headache. She had slept for a solid fourteen hours. Her energy was back, and her mind was calm. Something else was vivid. Tyler's voice called out to her. No matter how she shook her mind to get the voice off her mind, she kept hearing the quiet pleas of his soothing voice.She scrambled to her feet and got dressed. Meredith had sent a change of clothing to her room and she wasted no time in putting them on. What she was going to face didn't need her wearing a graceful gown.After tying her hair in a bun, she proceeded downstairs. Surprisingly, Oscar, Meredith, and Levi with two other pack members sat in the sitting room, discussing. When they heard her footsteps and acknowledged her presence, the conversation died down. She crossed Levi, who was on the left side, went to a vacant sofa on the right side, and sat. The sitting room had this conference area decoration to it. “Where are the others?” was her first question.“They're all outside, ready to vacate,” on
Lana ran through the dense woods, her heart pounding in her chest. She was following Tyler's voice, the force pulling her and her guts. She felt she was running out of time. She had to get to him. She would do anything to reach him, even if it meant walking through fire. She felt that he was in trouble. Possibly being held captive. If that was the case for Tyler, who knew what happened to the rest?Lana had knowledge that Tyler's captor would have taken every precaution to keep him from being rescued. But Lana was not one to be deterred by a few obstacles. She was fierce, determined, and has gotten skilled in the art of combat. She would fight through the high fences and security measures that lay between her and her mate.As she approached the perimeter of Alpha Annik's territory, Lana slowed down to assess the situation. That was where his voice led her to. Why wasn't she surprised? He must have made good his threat. Thinking about the well-being of the others made her stomach churn.
Lana, about to strike Scott, heard a familiar shrieking. She immediately felt his pain. Tyler. This was a trap. A distraction too. She scanned around and came up with a quick plan. As Scott tried to reach for her ankle, she slid past him to the chains.Wrapping them around her arm, she quickly ran past him, wrapping the chain as much as she could all over his body until he was down on a knee lock. “As much as I would love to shred you into pieces, Scott, I have to save my mate,” she informed him.Dashing out, she didn't bother to avoid the guards at all. She punched, kicked, and fought her way through the guards until she was out in the open, where the banquet was being held. Her sudden intrusion caused all heads to turn in her direction.“Took you long enough,” Annik yelled, a smirk plastered on his face.“Lana?” Scarlet called out, standing in surprise.Tyler had already been dragged to a box, where he was stuffed inside and bonded by chains made of wolfsbane and silver.She calculat
The soft rays of the morning sun painted the room in a warm golden hue as Lana cradled her newborn daughter, Kaylida, in her arms. She was a replica of her father, Tyler but had gotten her mother's hair. She was the best gift to the United pack, loved by all.The little one cooed gently, her tiny fingers grasping at the air. Tyler stood beside Lana, his eyes filled with awe and love for the precious gift they had been blessed with.Nine months had passed since Kaylida's arrival, and the family decided to celebrate by going on a picnic. They invited Kamala, to join them. The tranquility of the pack's garden provided the perfect setting for a relaxing day under the azure sky.As they set up their picnic spot, Lana saw the memorial stand nearby. It bore the names of fallen loved ones: Elijah, Kaylee, Katida, and many others. A wave of bittersweet memories washed over her, and she felt compelled to honor their memory.Lana turned to Tyler, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm glad we decid
Several months later...Months have passed with Tyler and his community doing nothing but rebuilding. He had Kamala brought over to join them. The land has brought together several packs focused on making the King's pack unmatchable.Lana agreed to have everything attributed to her past buried as it was a long time. A few times, she heard from Jack and Alpha Raven.Amid the reimagined Pure Crescent pack, a vibrant tapestry of unity and diversity unfolded. The once desolate lands had transformed into a breathtaking haven of life and serenity. As Tyler and Lana strolled together, their footsteps accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves and the sweet scent of blooming flowers, their eyes beheld the beauty that surrounded them.Fields of wildflowers stretched as far as the eye could see, their colors blending harmoniously, painting the landscape with hues of crimson, gold, and azure. The air was alive with the melodic chorus of birdsong, and the delicate whispers of the wind through t
Afterward, he clasped her against him so tightly, it was to the point of pain. She needed it and wanted him to squeeze her even harder.They had no idea how long they remained like that, hearts thundering together, his hips softly rocking. Hours might have passed. When the now aggressive air began to flog their skin through the open window. "Is there a bathroom here?" Tyler questioned.Lana nodded pointing to the closed door on the left.Tyler didn't pull out. He carried her, with him buried deep in her straight to the bathroom. It was a simple one with a shower head, bathtub, and toilet area which was demarcated by a transparent glass. There was a cabinet with toiletries and towels and a bug full-length mirror.Tyler carried Lana under the showerhead, switching in the water with a free hand. The water from the showerhead began sputtering. Nonchalantly, he gave both of them a rinse without pulling away.Lana giggled, her breathing hoarse. "You do know that we need a proper bath after
Like an addict yearning for her drugs, Lana shuddered as Tyler teased.Once she managed to reach the heavy weight of his cock, he rasped, “Use it.”She rocked her hips up as she pulled his shaft to her. When the head made contact with her pussy, he bit out a curse, his length jerking in her hand. Panting, she ran the crown up and down between her swollen, flaring lips.“So slick,” he growled. “So ready for me.”As she petted her clit with the bulbous tip, his towering body shuddered with need. “Enough teasing. Wanted this too long.”He covered her hand with his own, fitting the crown against her entrance, pressing forward just a fraction. As soon as she knew without any doubt that she was about to have the best moment of her life that has been denied for months, she relaxed.He pulled their hands away, then began easing deeper, wedging the broad head inside. Her gasp was cut off by his lips, hungry and insistent as he sank his cock farther. Each inch forced her to stretch more and mo
The whole place was still in a frenzy as the dead and injured were being carried out. As Lana swayed her hips ahead of Tyler trying to help in whatever way she could, Tyler pulled her aside.Cupping her face with both of his hands, he brushed his thumbs over her cheekbones. “I need you," he whispered against her ears, and his breathing quickened."I need you too," Lana replied. "However, the pack needs us more. We need to put things in place. We have to decide where everyone would settle before we can have our moment," Lana reminded him as she ran her slender fingers through his now lengthy hair.The last thing as having a haircut and trimming his beard has been at the far corner of Tyler's head due to the whole commotion.He burrowed his stare into Lana's eyes, smiling proudly at her. He couldn't believe that he had almost given up such a wonderful soul due to anger. He was beyond glad that they found their way back to each other.With a calm face, he wrapped his hand around Lana's w
As the smoke cleared and the victorious warriors gathered, Lana and Tyler stood on the grand balcony overlooking the battlefield, the weight of their recent triumph heavy on their shoulders. Annik knelt by their side, his eyes reflecting a mix of embarrassment and anger. The gathered wolves, both from the Pure Crescent pack and other clans that had come to their aid, watched with bated breath, their attention fixed on the trio who had emerged triumphant. The wounds of the battle were evident on their bodies, but their spirits burned with newfound hope. With a commanding voice that resonated across the assembled wolves, Tyler spoke, his words carrying the weight of authority and compassion. "Today, we have emerged victorious, not just as separate packs, but as one united force. We have proven that when we stand together, there is no darkness we cannot overcome." A chorus of howls echoed in response, a symbol of unity and agreement from the wolves who had fought valiantly side by side
As Lana and Ryler joined forces to combat Annik, trying to save the fate of their world that teetered on a fragile edge, the strength of the other packs that had joined hands with them increased too. Lana kept striking blows until Annik shoved her hand on the chest, causing her to swerve back. Her gaze locked with Alpha Annik's hauntingly possessed eyes. She clutched her knuckles so right that they turned white. "You ruined the lives of the innocent, and changed fates, so you could have power. Until your head has been fed to the crocodiles, I will not rest!" she promised.Alpha Annik's possessed voice resonated with a sinister undertone, distorted and chilling. "Foolish girl! You cannot comprehend the power that flows through me. Prepare to face your demise!" With a swift motion, Annik unleashed a wave of dark energy, causing the ground to tremble beneath their feet.Tyler, his eyes burning with determination, stepped in front of Lana, shielding her from the brunt of the attack. He g
"Do something!" he roared at the witches.Before they were able to take another step, with agile grace, Tyler launched himself into the fray, his movements calculated and precise. He evaded Annik's frenzied attacks, his keen instincts guiding him through the chaos. Each clash of their fangs and clash of their claws echoed with the weight of their shared history, their former brotherhood.Amidst the battle, Tyler's voice rang out, laced with sorrow and urgency. "I can't believe you did this to me. To our family"Lana who had managed to invade from the east side showed no mercy as her talons dug into the neck of her enemies. With Jack and his sister by her sister, they were in the Sapohore room in no time.With a full blast of wind, "sisters!" Alpha Raven yelled at the three witches, who hissed in disgust."If it isn't our father's favorite daughter, I wonder who it would be?" the witches sneered, turning into a gigantic python.Tyler was invested in his attack on Annik, that he paid li
"Who are we?" The couple burst out laughing.Giving him a gentle push, "Don't be silly, son. Go join your siblings to play. We have an important occasion to attend shortly," his father informed.Tyler couldn't believe his eyes. "I won't take a walk," he announced to his parents who absentmindedly gave him a nod. Whatever they were discussing was more important than their son who wasn't in the mood to play with his siblings.At once, Tyler's spirit in his trance left his body so that he could see the whole of where he was. He remembered the place from his constant nightmare about the fire.In the heart of the countryside, nestled amidst rolling green hills, stood a breathtaking mansion. Its exterior was a vision of elegance, boasting a harmonious blend of classic architecture and vibrant nature. Surrounding the mansion was a meticulously landscaped garden, ablaze with a riot of colors. Blooming flowers of all kinds, their petals delicate and vibrant, adorned the grounds, filling the ai
