Roger"Ruth, Nooooooo." I shouted, my voice cracking with desperation. The words echoed through the cave, but the power broke free from within her, surging forward with an intensity that I had never experienced before. It was as if a dormant force had awakened within her, ready to unleash its full potential.And before I know it, Ruth's gone, disappearing in the thin air with just the ashes of her presence left behind. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me stunned and breathless in the wake of her sudden departure. Richard and I stood there, stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just happened, the cave fell silent once again, leaving me alone with the lingering echoes of my desperate plea. She sacrificed herself to protect the pack and Richard from Charles."Ruth...," I cried out, my voice filled with grief and disbelief. The weight of her sacrifice hung heavy in the air, leaving a void that could never be filled. Was this her plan to sacrifice herself
RogerAfter that incident, things started to get back to normal soon, with Charles gone and the tension he brought with him dissipating. The pack began to rebuild their unity and trust in each other. They focused on healing and moving forward, leaving behind the chaos and division that Charles had caused. But Richard was devastated by the loss of his mate. He struggled to find solace and purpose without her by his side. The once vibrant and confident alpha now carried a heavy burden of grief, affecting not only him but the entire pack as well. Then one day, no one knew why, but he decided to leave the pack."Richard, you can't leave," I said pleadingly. "We need you now more than ever. Your strength and leadership are important in helping us heal and rebuild. Please think again." Richard paused, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination. "I know it's hard for you all, but I can't stay here anymore," he replied, his voice filled with a hint of resignation. "These packs
Regina"Smile," Charles mumbled, holding me tight in his arms.I tried to plaster a fake but realistic smile on my face, trying very hard not to move his hands away from my waist.Why does his touch feel like needles in my skin, piercing through my skin? It's as if his embrace is a painful reminder of the past, stirring up emotions I thought I had buried. "Regina," Charles whispered, his voice filled with concern. "Smile for the painting." I nodded, forcing myself to relax and let go of the lingering pain. As James began to paint, I was tired of diverting my mind to other things, like Richard.I hope he is fine. I haven't heard from him for a week, and it's starting to worry me. The silence between us feels like a heavy weight on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I try to push away the nagging thoughts and focus on the present, but the uncertainty lingers in the back of my mind, casting a shadow over our relationship. "Is it done yet, or do you want me to kill your granddaughter
Ruth"Ruth," Charles smiled, hugging me in his arms. It touched my skin, making it crawl, reminding me of the countless times he had betrayed my trust with his deceitful actions. "How long have I waited to have you in my arms?" His words sent a shiver down my spine as I struggled to maintain composure. "But now I have you, and I won't let anything or anyone come between us," Charles said, turning his face to Richard, who was tied up in the corner of the cave; silver chains entangled his wrists and ankles. "No one..." Charles mumbled with a sinister glint in his eyes. The space grew colder as Charles took a step closer to Richard, his voice dripping with malice. "You thought you could take her away from me, but you were wrong. She was always meant to be mine." Charles's grip tightened on the silver chains, causing Richard to wince in pain. The air in the cave became heavy with tension as Charles's sinister intentions became clear. Seeing Richard in pain made my heart bleed for him. I

ReginaWhat is worse: living with someone you hate or not being able to live with someone you love?The answer to this question is something I can't say. Because the person I love is away, and the person that I hate the most—the one who is the reason for all the bad things in my life—is with me.Life is like a plague that infects our souls, forcing us to make difficult choices and endure unbearable circumstances. In my case, I have to navigate through the pain of living with someone I hate while longing for the presence of the person I love, making every day a constant struggle between heartache and resentment."The painting is done," James announced, his voice fumbling slightly."Good," Charles said, releasing the rope from his clenched fist, making James' granddaughter fall from the ceiling, but before her body could touch the ground, I clutched the rope tight, preventing her from hitting the floor.Dropping her to the ground slowly and gently, I looked into her terrified eyes and wh
RogerI smiled, staring at the image in front of me, feeling a rush of joy and nostalgia. The conflict finally came to an end, and I couldn't help but reflect on the long and arduous journey that led us here. But what didn't happen in the past happened now; Richard and Regina are together, safe and sound, their smiles mirroring the happiness in my heart. Seeing both of them smile and hug each other brought a sense of joy and relief that was indescribable. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, knowing that their love had triumphed over all the obstacles they faced. The sacrifices they made and the strength they showed throughout their journey had finally paid off, and it was a beautiful sight to behold. "Roger..." Richard called, bringing me back from my thoughts. I turned to face him, noticing the tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you, thank you for being there for us," Richard choked out, his voice filled with gratitude. "Without your support and encouragement,
Richard"Regina..." I mumbled, feeling the warmth of her body again, with her heart pumping again as if it had never stopped. She is alive, and her presence fills me with a sense of relief and joy. The thought of losing her was unbearable, but now that she's here, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love. "Regina," I mumbled, touching her face and feeling her warm breath on my fingertips. "Richard....," I heard her mumble with her eyes, not leaving mine; her voice was filled with emotion. As she moves her hand to touch my face and wipes away the tears that I didn't even know were falling from my eyes, I realize how fortunate I am to have her by my side. I hugged her tight in my arms and whispered, "Thank you for being here with me. I don't know what I would do without you." As we held each other, the weight of my worries and pain seemed to melt away, replaced by a renewed sense of hope and strength. "Richard..." she mumbled, her head resting over my heart,
Richard"Regina..." I called out her name, hoping for a response, but only the echo of my own voice answered me. She is no more. I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as I realized the truth. She was gone.The silence that followed was deafening, as if the world had come to a standstill. Memories of our shared laughter and conversations flooded my mind, making her absence even more unbearable. It was a painful realization that I would never hear her voice again. "Richard....," I turned my head to the voice and saw Charles standing there, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Go away..." I shouted through clenched teeth, my anger and grief intertwining in a volatile mix. Charles flinched at my outburst, but he didn't leave. Instead, he took a step closer, his voice filled with empathy as he softly said, "I understand your pain, Richard." "You understand my pain," I shouted with a bitter laugh, my voice laced with sarcasm. "How could you possibly understand? You didn't lose her; I
Regina"You should..." I snarled, ready to defend what was rightfully mine. "You should have known better than to underestimate someone who has learned from their mistakes. Now..." I said as I turned into my wolf form, my fangs bared and my growl echoing through the air. Both Richard and Roger launched from my back to Charles, their teeth bared and their fur bristling with aggression. We attacked Charles, our combined force overpowering him. His attempts to fight back were futile as we tore into his flesh, our primal instincts taking over.Roger took the book of darkness away from Charles's grasp and tossed it to me. As I caught it in my jaws, a sense of triumph washed over me. Richard continued to fight with Charles, with neither of them backing down. When Richard attacked Charles too, the intensity of the battle escalated. Their growls and snarls filled the air as they fiercely clashed, each determined to come out victorious. The adrenaline coursing through my veins urged me to jo
RichardI took my first step after standing paralyzed for so long, one step at a time, slowly. I can't breathe as I watch the scene unfold before my eyes get much more horrifying. The furniture is overturned, the walls are splattered with blood, and a chilling breeze sends shivers down my spine. My heart races as I watch the chaos and destruction that have consumed the once-peaceful room. The eerie silence amplifies the sense of dread, making it difficult to comprehend the unimaginable events that have transpired. I took my parents' photo from the closet, which I was holding tightly in my trembling hands. The image of their smiling faces brings a bittersweet comfort amidst the chaos, reminding me of happier times. And I run through the debris-filled hallway, desperate to escape the horrors that surround me. The adrenaline pumps through my veins, fueling my determination to find safety and leave this nightmare behind. Every creak and whisper in the house intensifies my panic, making
Regina"Let me do you an honor and show them struggling in their own minds," Charles suggested, his eyes gleaming with sinister excitement. He put his hand over my head, taking me to a different place. As I hesitated, unsure of what he meant, Charles continued with a sly smile. "You'll witness the power of manipulation as I delve into their deepest fears and insecurities, revealing the true extent of their inner turmoil." With an air of mystery surrounding his words, I couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension about what awaited me in this unknown realm. And there I saw Richard, bound and trembling, his eyes filled with terror. "Mom!" he shouted with a trembling voice, his fear palpable in the air. And I saw him turning into a five-year-old boy again, his vulnerability laid bare in front of me. "Richard, no matter what, don't come out of your closet." I heard a woman say it from somewhere in the distance. Her voice was filled with urgency and concern, causing my hea
ReginaMy heart skipped a beat as I saw the figure standing in front of me—tall and confident, just as I remembered. But something was different.Tears started pouring from my eyes as a rush of emotions overwhelmed me. He is alive. I couldn't believe my eyes. The last time I saw Sam was when he was lying lifeless in front of me after sacrificing himself to save Richard and everyone else. The pain of that memory had haunted me for nights, but now, seeing him standing here, it feels like a miracle. The weight of grief lifted from my shoulders as hope blossomed in my heart. "Regina, I missed you so much," Sam said, his voice filled with warmth and longing. The sound of his familiar voice brought back a flood of memories, reminding me of all the laughter and adventures we had shared together. My brother, my only family, had returned to me. I couldn't help but embrace him tightly, feeling a sense of completeness and joy that I hadn't experienced for so long. The void that his absence had
Regina"I can't let darkness stop me from moving forward," I thought to myself. "I have to push through and face whatever challenges lie ahead." With renewed determination, I took a step forward, ready to confront the unknown and trust in my instincts. I knew that I could find a way to overcome any obstacles and reach our destination. I took a deep breath and prepared to face whatever lay ahead. With each step that I take, my breathing gets heavier and my heart pounds in my chest, but I refuse to let fear consume me. Each step that brings me closer to darkness makes me lose my strength, and doubt starts to creep in. However, I remind myself of the strength and resilience that have brought me this far. I gather my courage and push through the fear, knowing that on the other side lies growth and triumph. As I cautiously move forward, my heart races with anticipation. The ominous atmosphere grows thicker, making it harder for me to breathe. But I continue with Roger and Richard, who ar
Regina"Then what am I?" I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and anticipation. Roger's gaze softened, and he took a deep breath before answering. "You're something far more extraordinary, Regina." My mind raced with curiosity as I awaited his explanation, desperate to uncover the truth about my identity. The weight of his words hung in the air, fueling my desire to discover the depths of my hidden potential. "You're a Moonfire Guardian, destined to protect the balance between realms." Roger paused, his eyes filled with both admiration and caution. "Your abilities go beyond any werewolf or Lycan I've ever encountered. Your connection to the moon's energy grants you immense power, allowing you to manipulate the elements and heal those in need." "You mean I have the power to control fire, water, earth, and air?" I asked, my voice trembling with excitement. Roger nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "But be warned," he continued, his tone turning serious. "The moon's en
