Tyler and Lana walked back to the party, which had devolved into something that looked straight out of a movie. Most of the pack members were fully transformed, others, were half-transformed as they sang and danced around the fire. Those who weren't involved were making out in different corners. Only those in patrol stayed alert, darting their eyes in different directions. Also, the place was more illuminated than how they left it before heading to the woods. Beautiful birds diverted in the night sky too. Lana was still flushed, wishing Tyler hadn't played with her like that. Still, in a daze, they walked together to the same chair, she had previously sat on. Katida saw them and came over.“Hey, Lana,” she said, “Let’s have a little chat.”Tyler wanted to object, but Lana patted him on the back reassuringly. She wasn't scared. In fact, it was a good opportunity for her to put Katida in her place by asking her to stay away from her mate.She reluctantly parted from Tyler and followed
The truck bounded onto the rocks at the outskirts of a woody path, where Viktor soon skidded to a halt. He had been tracking the dead soldiers with the pack's scent, and it drew him to their present location. He wasn't even out of the van, and he was already growling with in-depth anger and hatred.Kamala got up and made around to open Lana's side, tapping her on the shoulder. She sprang to her feet, cleaning her eyes with her fingers. “We are here,” Viktor announced.They all stepped out of their van, the second van opening too. Elijah handed Lana a gun. “Since you are not like us, yet, you might need a gun more than we do.”“Sure.” She had higher confidence in her physical abilities since she was confident in how stronger she had grown over time. “We are all connected through a mindlink as a pack. We don't know if that is the case for you. Still, you can use this phone to reach out to anyone in the lack. The first number saved is the Alpha's. The second is Viktor's, I am the third
They continued backing off. She used that opportunity to catch her breath. Her eyes and head cleared slowly. Those two were strong as hell, too, and their punches had done some damage. And that was when another wolf in his human state with blue eyes alighted on the ground from one of the trees, next to Kareem and the brown-tailed wolf. He controlled perfectly his momentum from the height.A moment later, the man from the tree began to transform too. Lana watched as each leg and hand turned to a paw, his body becoming covered in black fur, eyes glowing golden. What was it with these guys and transformation? Others were still preoccupied with the unceasing attackers. The entire group had transformed into their werewolf form except for Viktor, who was in control, and he didn't look a bit pleased.Blood spilled from Lana's mouth. She thought of drawing them out of there, maybe taking on them one after the other, but that might be more dangerous as their first instinct would be to give her
The Pure Crescent pack has taken another dimension. Most of its state lay in ruin. Alpha Annik held the head of a young girl, furiously questioning her. “Are you the Sapphire Seer? I heard that transformed last week after twenty years of being powerless!”“Have mercy, Alpha Annik. Her miraculously revealed itself to her. She is not the one,” the girl's mother, crying as she struggled to break free from the tight hold of Annik's soldiers.“Shut it, woman!” he yelled. She turned to the frightened girl, “what am I thinking? What vision do you see?”“N-n-nothing,” she stammered, her eyes glowing blue.Annik snapped, slitting the girl's throat before commanding his men to kill the mother. Rumors have been making rounds that the Sapphire in the Pure Crescent pack's temple glowed a few nights back. Annik quickly ended the rumor and its source, confident that he had taken care of whatever would have caused the Sapphire to glow. The last time the lights were on was twenty years ago, when Annik
The ocean's wave hung midair. Same with the leaves and birds. Lana ran at speed, shooting as many wolves as she could, stabbing and snapping necks. With a snap of her hand, everything released, bodies landing in heaps, the ocean aggressively splashing.From the corners they fell into, Levi, Kamala, Viktor, Elijah, and the rest began to emerge. Lana exhaled. She shook her head to discard the pounding headache torturing her. Her eyes cleared, and she looked for a nearby tree to lean against, trying to get a balance.The Wordsworth wolves were down to one who was barely alive. The rest were dead. With her last strength, Lana went over to the frightened wolf. With a growl, she answered him. “Tell your Alpha to have the balls to show up for a peace talk. If he doesn't, the Silver pack will take it as a natural refusal and therefore strike. Let him know this,” she said.The frightened wolf ran off, limping as if it was barely alive. Lana scanned the area. Just in time, she found Kamala. “Wh
Annik walked to the Alpha mansion with Scott tagging along. Everyone he passed had fear written on their faces, he strode ahead to Scarlet in the bedroom. She paced from one end to the other. He pushed the door open, fisting her hair while kissing her aggressively.“I am sorry about earlier. You stirred something in me,” he mumbled against her mouth.Scarlet was tempted to push him away, irritated by such a dirty and prideful apology. Her courage failed her. Like a withering leaf, she stood and listened to him.“I thought you will be back at the shelter, taking care of the kids.” His jacket and shirt went flying, leaving him in just his pants and shoes. “I am going to have the Wordsworth Alpha here. Let them know that I need a banquet for fifteen.” His hands trailed and found a black shirt, which wore immediately.“The Lantern glowed. We all saw it. What am I not being told?”“To not ask stupid questions.”"Annik, let me in on what is going on. You said you were the rightful Alpha of t
Tyler and Lana walked over to the garage with a fleet of cars. This time, they weren't using a van, but a smaller sports car. He opened the door for her, and she jumped into the passenger side. Lana smelled incredible, and she looked fantastic in her simple attire.Tyler got into his side and keyed the ignition and reversed out of the driveway. “If there are so many cars, why do we keep using the van?”“You don't like it?”“I don't have a thing against it, either.”“It keeps us more meticulous. Most of what we go out to do doesn't require these flashy ones. We don't want eyes on our pack because they will start measuring our level of success with that as a fact, among other things.”“Why are you bent on hiding the greatness of this pack.”“Let me show you something. Then, I will answer you.” He began driving through the beautiful roads in the area. Each side was adorned with trees, flowers, and colorful birds. On the whole, most areas looked more like a garden than roads.“You guys to
“I’m sorry if talking about the past upsets you, I just want to know you more. Understand you.”They were silent. Tyler kept looking up at the moon. She kept looking at him. Finally, he said, “I was found by the old Alpha beside a riverbank when I was just a cub. The thought I had died due to the cuts and burns on my body. That is my story. No memories because I was too young to remember. The only thing I have from then is this bracelet.” He shoved the sleeve of his shirt up, revealing a beautiful bracelet made from white seashells with a green and blue pearl in the middle that formed a letter T. Immediately, Lana remembered that Levi had once told her of this.“So, the Alpha raised you?”“Technically, yes. He was on a walk with his beautiful wife that night when they heard my scent and faint moans. Immediately, they reached for me. That is another reason they had that barrier put around the pack. One, to let us know when someone is near and also protect an outsider from intruding eas
