At the large office at Blood Moon Pack, Draven sat still on his large armchair while Asher stood beside him, a map of the entire hills town on the desk and his fingers pointing towards each section.“This is a small pack up at the hillside, they have been having a feud regarding an Alpha issue and I think that it is best and proper for us to conquer it now”.Asher explained, But Draven had his gaze staring into blank space. “Alpha Landon has his eyes on this territory because of their resources and most of all, they have numerous sources of water from the ground which we can use in generating so much”.“What about the small pack with a land filled with coal, don't you think that will benefit us more?”“Yes, but they are a united pack, I hear their Alpha is very powerful”“Powerful and yet he hasn't been able to conquer any other territory!” Draven expressed and Asher was mute for a while. “I want his pack, have some men scout out the area, I need to know the closest entrance to that
Jessica felt waves of emotions curled up her stomach as his hand pressed on her lips, he was close to her and her cheek had turned flutter red. “That will be a for today”. Asher suddenly spoke seeing how carried away the Alpha was in her gaze and everyone staring deeply at them. Draven cracked his throat, gave a final speech, and dashed out of there while trying to put himself together. “What is going on, you look fluttered?” Ashet asked as soon as he followed Draven outside. “I don't know, she is messing with my head, I have heard about the mate bond, but it is too hard to control my wolf when I am with her, he just wants to shift form with me and mark her and yet when I am not around her, it drives me crazy”.“You have to Calm down because this is going to be a long ride, you can't accept the mate bond even if you wanted because she hasn't met her wolf yet and isn't aware of this”“But I could tell her, my wolf desperately wants to imprint her, and it is so hard keeping him on a
'No. Not today, Isabelle.' Draven's tone was chilly and distant, and his eyes remained fixed on Jessica's petite face as if he was looking for something. Isabelle refused to give up just yet. She had been trying all her life to get Draven to spend time with her, and she was determined to keep trying. 'How about the day after tomorrow? Isabelle inquired, her voice hopeful. 'I'll have meetings to chair and difficulties to deal with,' Draven said, not even looking up at her. Isabelle's shoulders dropped in despair, yet she couldn't stop herself from trying one more. 'Okay, but what about—'Before she could finish her statement, Draven erupted, his patience plainly fraying. 'Not now, Isabelle,' he replied, his voice cold and piercing. Isabelle fell silent, her heart full of resentment at Jessica. Yes, Isabelle and Draven had grown up together and were close in their own way, but she couldn't deny her jealousy. She'd never had Draven pay her so much attention. And who was Jessica, anywa
'Do you have a problem with me?' Jessica repeated this while facing her new classmates and crossing her hands on her chest. 'I don't know, but what if I do?' Isabelle said carelessly, her arms crossed over her chest as well. Jessica's heart raced as her mind tried to figure out Isabelle's tone and objectives. But before she could react, more of Isabelle's friends appeared, combining with Chloe and Eva, their expressions filled with phony concern. Jessica and Isabelle's tension mounted, and they could both feel their classmates' eyes on them, their curiosity heightened by the growing tension between the two girls. Previously, a small group of students on their way home had paused to watch the incident unfold before them. Just as things appeared to be spiraling out of control, Isabelle softened her look and went forward, wrapping her arm around Jessica's shoulder. 'Come on, Jessica,' Isabelle urged, her tone pleasant and welcoming. 'We're besties here, right?' But Jessica couldn't
The sun, peering timidly through the curtains, gave a warm warmth to Jessica's face as she awoke from her nap. Despite the early hour, she couldn't shake the heaviness that hung over her like a thick blanket. She could not recall the last time she had slept comfortably. The previous night had been filled with a cacophony of agonizing wails and blood-curdling roars that seemed to seep through the walls and into her bones. She had never heard the sound since joining this pack, but it still sent shivers down her spine. Jessica entered the living room, greeted her parents with a tired grin, and sat down at the dinner table. Warm scents floated through the air, indicating that her mother, Vivian, had already begun breakfast. She couldn't help but be grateful for her parent's reassuring presence. Although she was a self-sufficient young woman, the prospect of facing the world alone was scary. "Good morning, my mockingbird," Vivian said with a smile that lit up her whole face. "Good morn
Jessica's day at school began as any other, with the regular lessons and assignments to complete. But as the hours passed and the conclusion of the day approached, she couldn't help but feel agitated and impatient. Her anxiety was Instilled by the prospect of the impending training session. Jessica found the training sessions daunting because they required her to transform into her wolf form in front of the other students. But she always found excuses to avoid participating, and happily, her principal, Mrs. Lopez, appeared to understand and let her alone. Jessica couldn't help but worry how long she could keep up the ruse. How long would it take everyone to discover that she was I the only one who hadn't found her wolf? Jessica couldn't help but envy her classmates as she sat in her usual spot, watching them morph into wolves and walk around beautifully. She wanted to join them, to feel her wolf's freedom and might, but fear kept her back. The mention of her name abruptly dragged h
Alpha Draven, with his broad shoulders and honed biceps, towered over the three girls standing in front of him. His eyes, ordinarily sloppy and hazel, were suddenly a flaming red. His look was so intense that anyone would have cowered in dread. He was clearly not a man to be messed with. His presence was so strong that it appeared to fill the entire space. It felt as if all the air had been sucked out and replaced with a sense of domination and threat. With just one look into those flaming red eyes, it was clear that this man could instill both joy and dread in everyone who crossed his way. For a minute, It appeared that the Alpha's control was going to snap. His powerful arms stiffened, poised to attack. But then his attention fell on Jessica, the newest of the girls, and a subtle shift occurred in him. Slowly, his eyes returned to their normal hazel nature, and his body relaxed. Isabelle, Chloe, and Jessica all bent their heads in deference, unwilling to face the Alpha's eyes. The
The Moon Shadow werewolf pack's pack house was disorganized. The cabinet members were gathered around the long, wooden table, arguing loudly. Insults and harsh comments were exchanged, and the tension in the room was high. Landon Arlen, their Alpha, sat at the head of the table on his throne-like chair, his face deep in thought. Jasper James, his most recent appointee, sat next him in the beta's designated seat. Jasper was chosen to fill the job of beta after Sebastian, the previous one, had left the pack with his wife and child. Many pack members continued to dispute Landon's choice to let go of their finest warrior. And while he sat amidst the pandemonium of the cabinet meeting, Landon couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt for sending Sebastian away. But he forced those thoughts away, knowing he had to concentrate on the task at hand. Landon raised his hand and commanded stillness, which came promptly. Members of the cabinet who had been up and shouting minutes before suddenly t
