Levi moved in at the speed of light to grab her before she got to the floor. Lana was breathing heavily. Scarlet and Marina equally rushed to her side, grabbing her arms. “Is she okay?” Scarlet's voice was so thin as she worried. “Maybe she has to loosen the scarf to get some air.”“Don't worry. We will take care of it,” Kamala assured her. Bending to her ear's level with Lana, she mumbled to her, “what's wrong?”“I can't breathe properly. It feels like something is sucking my energy,” she explained.Kamala exhaled, using three fingers to trace from her forehead to her navel. She felt tightness around her stomach. Kamala went into a full-blown massage, confused as to why Lana's stomach was so stiff. At the realization of what it was, she sighed, rolling her eyes and shaking her head in the negative. “Please, give us some space. It's a lady's matter.”“What do you mean?” Levi's brown eyes dug an unimaginable hole in the middle of Kamala's head. “My Luna almost passed out. I would like
As loud as his footsteps were, his voice overshadowed them. “Alphas,” he bowed, “there's no reason to worry. Just bad weather.” Turning to Levi, “your men decided to join ours and watch the perimeter, even though I told them that they had nothing to worry about.”Exhaling, “that's fine.” Levi placed a palm on Lana's cladded lap. “Please, Alpha Annik, can we proceed?”“Definitely.” He motioned for Scott to step aside. “You were enlightening me on a ridiculous rumor going on within the packs.”“Nothing serious. Just some uncomforted buzz among packs. You know how they talk. But, I'm certain no Alpha would be foolish enough to get their hands dirty, as they know the penalty for such an offense.”“That's right.” Changing the topic, “back to my proposal. What do you have to say about my generous offer?”“With all due respect, Alpha Annik, we didn't come here to sell our pack. First, I came to honor your invitation. Secondly, to lay a complaint about the barbarism of Alpha Herrick on my pac
Scott walked before them as they took the exit. At the far end of the path that led to the gates of the pack, Scarlet stood, arm crossed, lost in deep thought. To make it more creepy, the surrounding lights flickered while others stayed steady. Her shoulders were jerking as she wept, standing alone in front of the tall white building that had withered flowers surrounding it.Lana was about to make her way to her when Scarlet turned and began walking off. Wherever she passed, the bright light in that area twinkled like she was sucking its energy. Also, the pronounced dark clouds around her made it obvious that something was following her. “Do you see that?” Lana brought Kamala's attention to it. Kamala wasn't a bit pleased because she had been studying the farthest landscape of the pack that her eyes could behold. Everything seemed to be dying. Even the few pack members they had passed seemed unhealthy. Something was going on, she concluded, dragging her gaze to what Lana was showing
“You seem like you have a lot on your mind. Ho early, I want someone to share my issues with,” Lana beckoned to Scarlet. “Oh, your gown is very beautiful. Thank you for the advice about my corset. I nearly passed out from how tight it was around my waistline.”The swing began to float as the wind added stamina to add Scarlet's push. Lana raised her feet off the floor for realization. “You're so observant. It's more complicated than it seems here. I've to be careful with so many things. I can't even give input in the affairs of my husband.” Her voice went low, sadness feeding in her eyes. “I know, I'm not supposed to be telling you all this.” Scoffing, “Annik will strangle me as I'm making him look weak.”There. Lana smiled. She has burrowed a hole right into where she needed Scarlet to be. “You don't need to apologize. I have one that I'm dealing with. So, I understand you.” Members of the silver pack all stood attentive while Lana conversed with Scarlet. Elder Zayn was with Levi and
The rising waves of the beach was relaxing, but not soothing enough for Lana's divided attention. She checked to make sure the area was clear. Levi continued his rambling, thinking that Lana was interested, but she wasn't. Where they had stopped was still far from the car.Kamala hurried back when only a few guards remained, while others joined Scott. “I think our journey is a waste of time. We didn't want anything authentic, and I think something is going on in this pack,” she spilled, not waiting for permission from them to speak. She, too, was very much concerned. More than anything, Kamala was convinced that there was dark magic surrounding the pack.Standing to her feet, “Levi, let's talk later. I have something to take care of first.” Turning to Kamala, “did you bring a change of clothes?”She nodded. “We should change once we leave.”Straightening her back, she wrapped the scarf over her face once she saw the patrolling guards. “Levi, we need to do something. I have to find that
“How would I identify who or what it is? There are so many to go through at once.” Annik's anger was rapidly growing like a newborn.“This is a tricky one. The Sapphire and Lanterns are glowing at once. There's no definite issue to direct you toward the source. And, like we told you, something or someone is tapping out energy, weakening us by the second.” The third witch twirled around the room, hanging from the ceiling.“Is that why you had to feed on my Luna? I thought we made a bargain that she's off-limits. I'm the only one that lays hands on Scarlet. No one else! Not even you there,” he roared.The first witch snapped her fingers and smokes filled the room. “Alpha Annik,” she called him slowly, moving with the smoke which was too thick that Annik had to use his wolf eyes to be able to see through it. “Desperate times call for desperate measures. The only source that can satisfy us now is one of royal blood. Would you rather we feed on you than Scarlet?”He glared at her.“Didn't t
The corners of the high fence posed no threat to Lana's determination. Except for the radiating light around them that hit on her every two seconds, she blended well with the darkness. She had changed to a black turtleneck, black yoga pants, black sneakers, and a black mask over her face to conceal it. Swinging her shoulders back and forth, she gathered the energy to hook her legs on the rough sides of the fence, using her gloved hands to support herself before jumping over. This side of the fence was where she used to pick shrubs to take back to the kitchen, which would be used to make dinner. That was what she remembered.The back was high, but the front was lower. Successfully, she landed on a thud with her face flat into the withered orchard of shrubs. She silently grunted in pain, picking herself up. She nearly burst into tears after seeing what used to be a beautiful area left in ruins. “Oh, Annik, what did you get yourself into?” she mumbled to herself. Out of the corners of h
Over the next series of doors, they were briefly stopped until the other didn't care much as they passed from one entrance to the other, Lana's impatience grew with the relentless pounding around the box. After a stretched time, she heard the clanging of a metal door and the jingling of keys before everything went silent. She heard footsteps walking away from the box.She stayed steady for some time. She peeked from underneath, but nothing was there. Carefully, she slid her body out, and her jaws fell to the floor at the sight she beheld. Even though her mind was in total confusion, she sorted and found a hidden place to conceal herself.The maids returned and continued wheeling the cart of boxes until they stopped in an oval-shaped thing. One of them got a key out and unlocked the door. Lana couldn't believe that cubs were being thrown into that thing, which was a tiny entrance to some kind of covered prison.She counted four cubs. Another maid opened a second door and she malnourishe
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
